We are here for you! The new lockdown hits among others our industry tough. It is therefore important to stick together and support one another. How are you? How is your Nia business doing? The exchange is very important to us and we have put together some links and suggestions that should support you.

From our point of view, a close exchange with your tax advisor is very important during these times in order to take advantage of state and European subsidies.

Here are some links to give you a quick overview:

I am very grateful that so many Nia trainings could take place this year under the new conditions. “Taking care of the space” got a whole new meaning for me and the intensity and the strong connection with the participants was indescribable. I am already looking forward to sharing the joy of movement with you in groups again. My calendar for the real belts is already well filled:

Of course, we have to wait for the corona regulations until next year and can only carry out the belts if there are no objections from the health authorities. Otherwise we reserve the right to postpone the belt. In this case your registration and registration fee will of course remain credited and can be used later.

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee 100% protection. We adhere to all regulations such as max. number of participants, hygiene regulations, list of participants, etc.

Under Corona conditions, we have to adhere to the following regulations during the belts (according to the current status):

– A mask must be worn when entering the building
– Due to the 10m2 per person rule, the number of participants (belt participants + visitors + trainers) in the on-site premises is limited.
– The premises are regularly ventilated.
– Disinfectant is available on site.
– In the event of symptoms, a negative test must be presented or the participant must drop out.
– JOY OF MOVEMENT remains a prerequisite 😉

I hope to see you soon! Stay healthy and positive!

Since October I have been offering the various Nia training levels online. 16 intense weeks, with participants from all over the world and I have to say that every week I fall in love with this format more. The mindful practices and lifestyle philosophies in Nia are unique!

White, Blue and Brown Belt have already started and Nia teachers and students from all over the world have chosen to join me: Finland, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Mauritius, Canada, USA, Belgium, Switzerland, France, Sweden and Germany.

I am very touched by how passionate my students are, deepening and internalizing all the tools and methods given in the online Nia Belt trainings.

See you online!

The first Nia fans successfully completed their training in the Corona summer. Of course it’s different, but I can also say from the bottom of my heart that it feels right to dance with Nia fans again.

Not that tight. Unfortunately not with so many international participants, as many cannot travel, but incredibly powerful and energizing.

Due to Corona, the situation on site is as follows:

• As a precaution, please always have a mask with you for all circumstances. You will also need them when shopping, etc.
• The premises are regularly ventilated
• Disinfectant is available on site
• In the event of symptoms, a negative test must be presented or the participant may not continue to participate
• Due to the “10m2 per person” regulation, approx. 13 participants (belt participants + visitors + trainers) are allowed in premises
• Showers can be used and must be disinfected after each use
• All cups and glasses are not allowed to be washed by hand. Please always use the dishwasher.
• Everyone must bring their own pillows, knee pads or blankets.
• JOY OF MOVEMENT remains a prerequisite 😉

I have been teaching Nia online for almost half a year now. An exciting time! Off the cuff we created an online offer at the end of March and are still learning and improving it every week.

To take your wishes and needs into account in our planning we created a short survey. 5 questions that can be answered in a few minutes.

All answers are anonymous and are only used for internal use. Thank you for your time and support!

Two months of Nia intensive trainings behind us. Many have waited a long time for this Nia belt week and I was really a little bit nervous. A Sense of new beginning.

”Do it like it was the first time!” – has become my motto over the last few months.

Disinfecting the premises and keeping the distance between participants are just the obvious things that have changed. But also a chance of becoming aware of one`s own body by being not so close with the group. Connecting in different ways.

For me it feels very strange not to hug my Nia students at the ceremonial handover of the Nia Belt. We now replace the connection of a hug with deep eye contact.
We had magical moments in Switzerland, Hamburg and Schondorf and used music and movement as a source of healing for our body and mind.

It was great to feel the diversity of the participants again. In Switzerland, some participants had never danced Nia and we were able to enjoy many great moments outdoor at Lake Sempach. In Hamburg I was able to welcome many Nia teachers from France to the Brown and Black Belt, that I hadn’t seen in a very long time. And in Schondorf there was a woman who has been climbing professionally for many years and who discovered Nia as a balance and addition to her previous sport.

One of the great lessons for all of us was to strengthen our balance and our nervous system through movement. An important tool that you can always choose by practicing Nia so as not to be overwhelmed by the uncertainties that lie in the future.

I am very happy to continue to share my trainings and Nia practice with you online and offline. You can take part at any time, even without knowledge.

”Jump in!”

See you soon, love Ann!

Not sure which requirements apply during your Nia trip?
In order to provide you with maximum support for your planning, we have collected some of the most important sources on the following questions:

”Can I travel to my Nia intensive training?”
”Which regulations apply in Hamburg?”
”How do I protect myself?”
… and much more.

If you have any further questions, we are always there for you.

The Nia training is carried out by us in compliance with all regulations. Your health is our top priority. You can be sure that community fun will not be neglected. Some things may be a little different than what you are used to, but we are 100% convinced that the training will be as magical as it was before Corona.

During this period, the persons named in sentence 1 are not permitted to receive visits from persons who do not belong to their household.
