Nia White Belt and 5 stages Instructor

Lindsey Krabbendam - Nia InstructorLindsey first experienced Nia in 2008 and immediately fell in love! The shear fun, freedom and exhilaration of a Nia class she had not found anywhere else. Lindsey has always loved dance, movement and being fit, but the experience of Nia was what she had been waiting for. Having the opportunity to share her love of Nia with others is something she is truly excited about and driven by. Alongside her Nia work, Lindsey is also a fully qualified Nutritional Therapist (Dip ION) and Shamballa Reiki Master. Her passion in life is assisting others to heal both physically and emotionally. For Lindsey, Nia was the missing link to her other passions and work in nutrition and Reiki, in supporting the whole-person healing experience.

“My aim during a Nia class experience is to create a space where people can get fit, release stress, connect to play and fun, express their emotions and experience the simple but powerful principle of the Joy of Movement. As the teacher I feel I am there to guide you through the routine, whilst encouraging you to find a way to move that feels pleasing to your body, mind and soul. Connecting together as ‘community’ in a class is also an important aspect of the Nia experience I wish to facilitate. An important guiding principle for Nia teachers is called ‘Teaching What You Sense’, where we are guided by the sensations in our bodies, in order to invite the class to also sense and feel their own body experience. In this way, I find the experience becomes authentic and rooted in the present moment. Above all, I hope you will find my classes fun, friendly and an uplifting experience”.

Why I love Nia

“From my own personal perspective, I love Nia because it enabled me to ‘come home’ to my body, in a way that no other fitness form has done. Every time I experience Nia I feel the ‘Nia buzz’ and exhilaration of moving My Body, the way it wants to, and is designed, to move. It has changed my relationship with my body significantly. I have also seen numerous physical benefits with Nia in my body, and this is something I know will continue every time I practice Nia. I have yet to engage with Nia and not feel better for it, whatever my mood is, or what is going on in my life! I also love that I sweat more than in any gym class I have been to, and feel I have had a complete body and mind workout. However, the difference with Nia is that I have experienced only pleasure, and no pain, in getting these results! Everyone who regularly practices Nia will have different reasons why they love it - come and find out what yours is!

I look forward to dancing with you!”

Student feedback

"Discovering this fantastic form of exercise has been eye opening, liberating and enriching. It makes me feel great inside and out. I feel more in tune with what my body needs, and what it can do, since starting Nia. I’m already seeing physical benefits, and I can feel the emotional benefits after every class. It is an hour I can take entirely for myself, indulge in how I feel, and daydream that I’m actually a dancer! Lindsey is a natural dancer and teacher – I know I’m in safe hands. I’m recommending it to everyone." Rosie, Brighton UK

"I enjoy Nia because of the feeling of letting go, being myself, freedom to move and know I am creating health and energy for myself. I feel I can explore my movements without judgment. The most important part is I love it.  I am 50yrs old, very young at heart and love to dance. I really enjoy the funkiness of the dance as well as the energy moves. I think you are excellent. You make people feel good. You are inspiring with no ego, you are there to enjoy and have fun with all. You are professional and approachable and it feels like you have been doing it for years and love it. Thank you for entering my world and becoming part of it." Mandy, Brighton UK.

"Lindsey’s instructions are clear and easy to follow. This is the most fun exercise I have ever done!" Sophia, Hove UK.

"I absolutely love the feeling of freedom and release that I get from Nia. Before I started coming to the classes I was worried that I would feel inhibited or self conscious but I found that I quickly stopped worrying about everyone else and just concentrated on how my body was feeling. Nia has been a great discovery. I love the feeling that I have worked every part of my body!" Sharon, Brighton UK.
