Give Yourself the Gift of Nia!
June 9 to 15, 2012 on Bowen Island, BC
Join Martha Randall for a challenging and powerful week of Nia, designed to empower your body and your life with practical, body-centered education.
Nia is a sensory-based movement practice that leads to health, wellness, and fitness. It inspires people of all shapes and sizes by connecting the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. This first level of Nia training lays the foundation for increasing awareness and attention to self-responsibility for your body and your life, delivering techniques for:
- Increased Creativity
- Embodied Grace
- Soulful Body Conditioning
- Self-Healing
The White Belt training offers a wonderful opportunity to deepen a personal movement practice and is the first step towards becoming a Nia teacher. All levels welcome.
The White Belt training on Bowen Island costs $1599. Contact Martha Randall for more details and to register.
Accommodation
The White Belt training will be held at Bowen Lodge in Snug Cove on Bowen Island. The Accommodation/Meal package includes six nights' accommodation at the Bowen Lodge and all your meals for $777 (shared room - twin beds) or $1254 (private room). All prices are exclusive of HST. Contact Carol Cram to book!
I hope to meet you on the dance floor at the Bowen Lodge for an amazing White Belt training!

White Belt Co-Producer on Bowen Island

 Meet Martha Randall | |
Martha Randall and Nia - A 15 year love affair!
When Martha and Nia met in 1996 it was love at first step. Martha wanted a practice that invited infinite possibility into a practical and body-centered system of education and Nia wanted teachers who were committed to the transformative power of exploring fitness, fun and freedom the Nia Way. Martha's students lovingly call her The Queen of Nia as she has been a leader and visionary for The Nia Technique in Toronto and across Canada for many years.

Martha is one of two Canadian trainers offering the Nia White Belt and Green Belt intensive trainings. Her dance training at York University and subsequent study of contact improvisation, karate, yoga, butoh, clowning, Pilates and 5 Sacred Rhythms ensure that her movements emerge from a depth of very personal experience. Her passion for physical, pyschological, emotional, and spiritual vibrancy ensures that her facilitation in class and training settings is compassionate, intuitive and precise.

Why Train on Bowen Island? | Bowen Island has long attracted people looking for physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual solace--all the things that a Nia White Belt training embodies. When you take your White Belt training on Bowen Island, you add another dimension to what will already be a profound experience. You can take quiet walks in the forest or on the beach, enjoy a cup of coffee at one of Bowen's many little cafes, explore art galleries and craft shops, and just slow down to the relaxed pace of Island life.

The ferry ride from Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver to Snug Cove on Bowen Island takes just 20 minutes but when you leave the ferry you step into a genuine oasis of community and calm.

Meet the Producers of the Bowen Island White Belt Training |
 | | Deborah Bramm and Carol Cram |
Carol Cram and Deborah Bramm are producing their first ever White Belt training on Bowen Island! Both Carol and Deborah completed their White Belt training with Martha Randall. Deborah has known and danced with Martha since the 1990's in Toronto.
In 2010, Carol and Deb traveled together to Studio Nia in Portland where they took their Green Belts with Carlos Rosas. It was an incredible experience! Deb and Carol also both have their Blue Belts.
Deb has taught Nia for over twelve years. She was also Carol's first Nia teacher. As Carol says, "I took one look at the expression on Deborah's face as she was dancing and I knew I'd found the perfect movement practice for me." Carol took her White Belt training in 2009 and has been teaching ever since.
Both Deb and Carol teach Nia classes on Bowen Island and on the North Shore. |
