Gayle Nielsen is passionate about healthy and joyful movement. Her background of 25 years training and teaching in martial arts and healing arts has blended seamlessly to create her current Nia practice. Certified as a Nia blue belt, she loves sharing Nia with those seeking a mind, body, and spirit connection through movement. In a non-critical way, she encourages her students to play, to discover, to make the connection to full-body awareness through joy.
