Jude Medhursst
Green Belt, 5 Stages TeacherI first came across Nia in May 2008 when I saw a demonstration at the Mind Body Spirit show in London. I was totally blown away and smitten by what I saw. After taking a few classes with Dorit Noble I soon decided that teaching Nia was to be my path alongside my teaching of yoga. I am now also Green belt certified and a 5 Stages Teacher. Looking forward to Blue soon. Nia has changed the way I relate to and experience my body, myself and my life. I feel blessed that I am able to share this amazing body of work with my students and the joy that I sense in my moving my body the Nia way is matched and mirrored in their happy smiling faces at the end of a class.
