Stephanie Denman Stephanie Kratzmann - Nia Instructor

Stephanie has a background in agricultural science. One day she was working out at the gym and noticed a new class - Nia. She thought she would give it a go – nothing to lose right? The smile crept on her face within 5 mins of the class starting and didn't stop until the last beat of the music. Stephanie is a testament to the fact that Nia is for everyBODY.

From these initial hesitant feelings of having two left feet and no coordination she discovered that she actually has a left and right foot and over 200 bones in between. Now she loves to dance each and every one of them and share the joy of movement and love of music with her students. Nia is truly for everyBODY.

“Even those days when it feels like your body is weighed down by life all it takes is a Nia class to lift my spirits. The energy created in a Nia class is unlike anything I have ever experienced in a fitness environment. Nia helps me connect to my mind and spirit as well as my body. I struggle with the freedom aspect of Nia coming from a very logical and science based background, but Nia gives me permission to let go of the "form" and explore my body and its ability to constantly go one step further in exploration of new movements.”

Nia gives an outlet to creating joy and giving people permission to explore their ability, their fears and their freedom.

Stephanie completed her White Belt in April 2007 and Blue Belt in 2010.

Student Feedback

I find NIA is good when you have had a hard day. I like the breathing and the exercises that pull in the energy and release the energy etc. I have often had a headache before class and was undecided about going to class. I drag myself along and most times I leave class without a headache. I often get pain between my shoulders from stress – but after a NIA class – the pain is less. NIA often reminds me of when I did Jazz Ballet when I was younger! That is why I like it so much. Alison, Brisbane Qld.

I have been attending Stephanie’s Nia classes for more than six months now and have enjoyed them tremendously. The classes provide you with a freedom to express yourself, let yourself go and be lost in the music. They are also a great workout and a lot of fun for those not wanting traditional structure through the whole class.  No session is the same as Stephanie keeps the classes interesting each time with lots of variety.   I recommend everyone to try Nia – you’ll become hooked.  Vivi, Brisbane Qld.
