Train in Scotland to teach Nia this July
I adore teaching Nia and am now pretty much at full capacity providing classes in Stirling, Dunblane and Perth with waiting lists for my classes during peak months. Myself and my fellow Nia teachers in Scotland would love more people to train to teach Nia in Scotland to bring Nia Classes to more people. Nia is 35 years old and a world-wide slow-burner. Its been here in Scotland for 12 years waiting for you to find it. Many of us currently teaching Nia in Scotland stumbled upon it by accident and couldn't believe what we had found. It is fitness, it is movement, it is healing and stress-busting, it is mindful and helps you learn to use your body to improve and sustain your health throughout your life - truely a find!
Everyone can enjoy movement and the benefits it brings for stress-release, healing and general fitness. Nia emphasises Joy in Movement and we hope you will find out more and think seriously about training in Scotland THIS SUMMER.
There is only one training class in Scotland annually and what a wonderful one it is. We have two international Nia trainers visit us (one from Italy and one from the U.S.A) and the whole Scottish Nia community like to join in with the training course for two public Nia classes a day - its a great treat and a superb opportunity.
We of course understand that you might need to try a class first or speak to one of us about Nia in Scotland, the training and teaching Nia. We can try to explain what Nia is like to you in words - but it is actually really difficult - you really are best coming to try it out. Look at our map below or use our class finder and come and experience Nia if your interest is sparked, even just a little! If you don't think you could make that happen - for our best explanation in words please check out my What is Nia in the Articles section or the Video button.
Unique Gentle Pathway to Teaching Nia
The course which qualifies you to teach Nia is a 7 day course called the White Belt.
Once you have done this course you are then free to take out a Nia Teacher membership - but you don't have to do that right away. No further formal study or video assessment is needed because Nia training is done in a rather different pathway to mainstream fitness. That is because Nia is a practice and life-style (rather like Yoga). Your teacher or trainer will explain more. There is no formal need to continue with training beyond White Belt - but if you desire to deepen your mastery you can progress up the Nia belt system to Blue, Brown and Black. The second level (Blue) is also available in Scotland, and the further levels in the UK and worldwide.

We have the Nia classes in the following areas in Scotland and it would be wonderful if we could provide Nia to folks in the areas not covered. We have recently had enquiries from Leith, Dundee area, St Andrews and The Isle of Bute, and North Dunbartonshire for example -- all people wishing they could have Nia near to them. You can start small in your local village hall and your nearest teacher can also give you an opportunity to teach just a small part of their class to put a toe in the water. Nia means community - both for teachers and student. We have a worldwide teacher discussion group on facebook and plenty of opportunities to connect and also retake part of your white belt for free. I would also welcome another teacher to work with me in Perth or Dunblane and it would be super to have a teacher in Dundee!

You can also take this transformative foundation training for personal growth and many in Scotland have done so. It makes your Nia class even more fulfilling and enjoyable and will help you learn to move in a way to sustain your health and fitness throughout your life with ease and pleasure in movement. So many reasons to do White Belt!
