Dear Nia community,

teaching the live classes is completely different, but I totally enjoy staying in touch with you. It takes almost a full day to prepare a class with all the new details needed to connect! You realize how much technology and support is required when you really implement it.

But we are getting better and better and on Wednesday night we were a magical 52 people from all over the world.

Good news: We have posted new classes for next week. You can register via the following link:

https://anniann.com/anniann-live/

Because we assumed that Ann’s Live Classes were “only” interesting for our time zone, we only sent our last newsletter to the people who live in Europe. We now receive questions from New Zealand, Singapore and NY.

For this reason, we have involved all time zones in this newsletter this time and if you are still or already awake, you are very welcome to join!

The Nia classes always take place at 11 a.m. or 5 p.m. (local time in Hamburg, Central European Standard Time (GMT + 1)).

How do you log in?

First you create an account with “Punchpass”, then you buy a pass and then book your date for the nia class via the schedule.

You will then receive an email with the invoice and an email with the confirmation of your booking and a link to Zoom. This link will take you to our Nia class.

If you do not get an email with the Zoom link after you have booked your session, please contact soeren.petersen@anniann.com (with your name and your desired session). Sören will take care of your registration.

Why do we take a fee?

As you can see in the pictures, we have set up a real film studio with the help of professionals in our office in the last few days to bring you the best sound and the best picture quality home. With your fee, we can pay for equipment and the freelance workers who, like so many of us, are very badly hit by order slumps.

Thanks for your support.

Dear Nia community,

I have been teaching Nia almost every day for 23 years. The last days I have been thinking a lot about a project that I have wanted to implement for a long time. The daily nia classes, nia intensive trainings and short breaks in-between, left no time in everyday life to deal with this topic. Now is the right time to start this project: Let’s meet online!

I have always had the opportunity to personally pass on my service and know-how to the Nia Community. Through the numerous Nia choreographies that I was allowed to create for all of us. To hear from Nia teachers that they learn my choreography and share it with their community is always a very special feeling for me. The variations in Nia are infinite and, depending on the focus and purpose of the lesson, always fresh and “new”.

I would like to accompany you in the future and share the joy of movement and give you extra know-how, for example in “mini workshop” formats.

Not only in this challenging situation, but in the long term. Let’s get closer.

First of all I will start with Nia-Live classes that give us all the opportunity to dance with each other from home. Let’s come together and keep our practice alive and dance through this unique time to feel better in our bodies, calm our minds, sooth our emotions and connect to eachother.

Here are the first dates:

For the live class, we use the platform “Punchpass”,  which is used by fitness, dance and yoga studios all over the world. You register using the link above, confirm the registration email and then buy your ticket, on the platform they call it “pass”, for the livestream.

10 minutes before the live stream starts, you will receive a link by email to log in. My live sessions are 60 minutes long and after we have 20 minutes to share with the Nia community.

We have decided that you yourself choose what you are willing to pay. You can choose between 5 euros, 7 euros or 10 euros. With this money we can pay the new equipment for the live sessions and our freelance staff, who are currently available to us at any time to make this project possible.

Thank you for your support.
