Nia Art of Sensation

A 6-Day Immersion in Embodied Wellbeing

A gentle re-meeting with your body – a transformative week that can change how you move, how you feel, how you live.

Nia Art of Sensation is more than learning steps or techniques.
It’s a return to yourself – to sensation, joy and inner wisdom.

Art of Sensation is Nia’s introductory training and somatic certification, offering a rich foundation in embodied wellbeing, body literacy and conscious movement – for life.

Across six days, you’ll explore Nia’s body-centred principles and practices in a supportive, nurturing environment. Through movement, music, breath and awareness, you’ll discover how listening to your body can support greater vitality, ease and self-trust – both on and off the dance floor.

What unfolds during the training

You’ll be invited to:

• Move in ways that feel good and sustainable for your body

• Deepen Body Literacy and Sensory IQ – sensing, feeling and responding with choice

• Experience movement as medicine for body, mind and spirit

• Support nervous system regulation through breath, rhythm and embodied awareness

• Cultivate self-kindness, agency and embodied confidence

• Express yourself creatively through music and movement

• Listen to your intuition – and trust it

• Build warm friendships and meaningful connections

Rather than striving or pushing, Art of Sensation offers a paced, compassionate approach that honours rest, reflection and integration alongside movement.

Who is this for?

Art of Sensation is open to all ages, bodies and backgrounds, and no prior Nia or movement experience is needed.

This training particularly resonates with lifelong learners – especially women in midlife and beyond – who are curious about healthy ageing, movement and music as medicine, and embodied vitality.

You may feel at home here if you’re drawn to learning that is embodied rather than instructional, kind rather than pushing, and focused on listening to your body, deepening wellbeing and enjoying meaningful connection.

Participants typically range in age from their mid 30s through to their 80s, each moving in ways that honour their own body and rhythm.

A body-life practice

Nia recognises that how you move shapes how you live. Alongside movement, the training includes time for rest, reflection and integration, creating a sustainable rhythm for learning.

You’ll gain practical, embodied tools you can carry into daily life – supporting vitality, resilience and wellbeing for your body and your life.

Curious about teaching Nia?

Art of Sensation is not a teacher training.
However, it is the first step for those who later feel called to share Nia professionally.
