Testimonials
What drew me to Nia, and still does, is the musical flow of our bodies and the consistent positivity. I love the guided movements and the visualizations Anne creates. The music is often joyful and the lyrics life affirming. My body and soul are uplifted at the end of each class!
- Jeannie
I love the ambiance of Anne’s studio, the music is fabulous and well “tuned” to every movement in the moment. I feel like my body is getting a good workout and my mind feels clearer at the end of class.
- Vicky
All four of us loved the class. The way you tailored it to our girls’ weekend was so very special. This is so great for groups of family or friends just like ours, thank you!
