Through Movement We Find Health

Stepping Into The Unknown

January 26th, 2008 · 4 Comments

As I walked from my car to the parking garage elevator for the first session of my White Belt, I saw a striking woman in a long black coat and hat carrying a giant bouquet of pink roses.  It was Debbie Rosas, my Nia trainer.  So we descended the elevator, walked across the rainy street together and walked into the Pythian building where Nia headquarters is in downtown Portland.

 We seven trainees hung out in the lounge, together with the roses, and the Buddha, until it was time to enter the studio and begin, together for the first time.

    I agree that the photos are fabulous! I can hardly wait to hear more about day one. The snow here is like a magnificent winter-wonderland. Preparing for the Core of the Body on Tuesday feels yummy. Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday at HQ.

    Appreciate the beautiful photos of the
    headquarters, very cozy and inviting for
    students about to practice Nia.

    Looking forward to your updates!
