Art of Sensation: A Personal Growth Experience

Art of Sensation is not a teacher training program—it’s designed for personal transformation. However, it also serves as the first step for those who wish to share Nia professionally.

Nia’s creator, Debbie Rosas, offers an online course called SHARE available to all Art of Sensation graduates who become Nia Teacher members. It provides essential tools to start your journey as a Nia teacher.

The White Belt is a week of body nourishment, community, fun, learning and transformation. I now understand why it was so difficult to explain to others what Nia was, it has so many layers! Sophie Marsh is an incredible human and inspirational trainer. I felt like the entire week was designed specifically for ME!

Michelle McKenzie

White Belt Graduate

This training was one of the most inspiring journeys of my life.

Karen Li

White Belt Graduate

I thought I was coming just to learn about Nia. What I received was so much more. Every principle helped me come back into my body and myself. I now have a clearer sense of my life purpose and how to have more awareness and Joy every day. I met an amazing community of authentic, fun, and loving people. I didn’t want it to end.

Zanthe Gneist

White Belt Graduate

It is difficult to describe how much joy I received from being with and relating to these magnificent women for a week of music, movement, magic, and friendship! I learnt to truly listen to my body and to trust the sensations I experienced. In these strange and unsettling times, I would lovingly suggest to consider stepping into this precious space with Sophie Marsh. You will feel nourished, invigorated, energised and ready to return home with new skills, knowledge, and resilience for the road ahead

Carol Greenwood

White Belt Graduate

During the White Belt, I experienced a real calming of my nervous system; much greater connection to myself, like I was landing back in my body; and many juicy and joyful moments. I’ve done plenty of workshops, but this is the best thing I’ve done for myself in a long time!

Robyn Robinson

White Belt Graduate

The training exceeded all my expectations. Accepting and loving ‘ME’, even the parts I have rejected or judged in the past, is my biggest take away

NIA FOR BEGINNERS

New to Nia and not sure where to start? The good news is that every Nia class is perfect for newcomers, whether you haven’t moved in a while or feel like you have two left feet! Come as you are—Nia meets you where you’re at!

There’s no single way to do Nia. It’s all about reconnecting with your body and listening to that inner voice that remembers how good it feels to move and celebrate life. No matter your age, body shape, fitness level, or ability, Nia is designed to embrace the Joy of Movement. This is the key to reclaiming your vitality, health, and power, wherever you are in your body and life journey.

Our Nia community thrives on kindness—there’s no judgment and no pressure to “get it right” or keep up. In every class, you’ll be offered choices to personalize your movement, tuning into your body to find pleasure and ease.

Feeling a bit awkward when starting something new is natural, but most students find they become more confident and comfortable after just a few classes. That’s why I offer 7 DAYS FOR $17 to help you get started.

If you’re healing from illness, injury, or trauma, you might prefer to try a Gentle Nia class. If you have any concerns, feel free to call me at +61 431 484 054. Want to know more? Check out 7 TIPS FOR BEGINN ING NIA

CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Nia is a gentle, joyful dance-fitness class inspired by martial arts, dance, and mindfulness. Set to uplifting music, it uses simple, guided patterns to energise your body, engage your mind, and calm your nervous system. Suitable for all ages and fitness levels, Nia encourages you to listen to your body and move in ways that feel good.

Nia 5 Stages blends gentle floor-based movement with somatic (body-centred) education with the intention to feel better. You'll be guided to tune into your body and move at your own pace through the 5 stages of human development - embryonic, creeping, crawling, standing and walking.

This mindful practice has the power to re-pattern, realign, strengthen, and increase energy flow throughout the body, while restoring and calming the nervous system.

Gentle Nia offers a nourishing whole body experience of simple movement sequences with uplifting music. Ideal for beginners, for people healing therapeutic issues (such as injury, illness, trauma), or for anybody who wants to move at a restorative pace.

Learn to slow down and personalise movement to fit your needs by focussing on ease and "feel good" sensations. Benefits include feeling more centred, improved balance and flexibility, intrinsic conditioning, and a felt sense of joy.

Nia 52 Moves classes combine one-minute intervals of Nia’s 52 moves with an energising, diverse playlist. This fun workout blends mindful awareness, cardio conditioning, and whole-body connection.

Beginners: Learn the moves and Nia’s “language.”
Experienced Students: Refine your technique and expand your potential.
For Every Body: Move at your own pace.

A playful way to boost body and brain fitness!

A Nia Moving to Heal class supports people dealing with a range of issues, such as illness, injury, trauma, addiction, and depression to experience mindfulness and movement as medicine. With inspiring music, you will be guided to slow down and personalise movement for your body’s way. It is a positive and conscious path to feeling better. Students who wish to participate while seated in a chair are fully supported.

Contact Sophie directly to organise an individual or special group session.
