Biography

Sabine has completed the Nia White Belt training. Sabine is based in Melbourne, VIC.

“Moving and dancing is my way to connect to life, it stirs my soul and makes me feel alive. Nia connects me to an inner awareness that finds a unique expression through exploring its different movement forms. Over the years I have witnessed transformations in myself and others, having danced the Nia way to tone my body and tune my mind, learning to move and “be” with ease, improving muscle strength and happiness, developing inner and outer flexibility, balance and coordination, letting go and letting flow.

I am a teacher and student who remains curious, stepping into each class with enthusiasm, experiencing the dance as meditation with never-ending wonderment at the depth of this practice. I desire that each student can also experience freedom, self-expression, the joy of movement, and remarkable vitality.

I am formally trained in Jazz-Dance, Aerobics, Gymnastics, Modern Qigong, Ageless Grace, and Rhythmic Movement Training (Primitive Reflex Integration) 1-3. I am also a qualified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher (MBSM)  and an Ex-Architect who loves art.”
