During our first “Tri-Texas Trainings”, where we brought 3 trainings in a row (Nia FreeDance, Nia Moving to Heal and Nia Blue Belt), we managed to bring all 5 Texas Nia trainers together to share their wisdom, joy and magic in a Nia Jam.

This was a wonderful time to celebrate coming together and to welcome Holly Nastasi back to Texas (recently relocated to College Station from Nabraska!)

As ever this Nia Jam was a fabulous community event where folks travelled from near and far to come enjoy the music, movement and magic.

It was extra special to have all 5 Texas Nia Trainers together to provide a “Team Texas Nia” experience.

We collated 11 songs (all from Nia Routines) into a 55 minute playlist. Each trainer took it in turns to teach 2 or 3 songs. It was a well grounded Nia experience, rich in the progression of the 7 cycles of the Nia class promise, creative and vibrant.

Even though these trainers don’t often get together and this was the first time they had co-lead a class together the transitions from one song to the next and one teacher to the next was seamless.

Super to have some guys in class. Nia ambassadors Alan Davidson and Frank Zendejas both came up from Houston. We were surprised to learn this was the first time they’ve met each other. Watch out Men of Nia 2020, there’s some powerful Nia Male presenters planning some amazing experiences ;-)

We hope this will be a quarterly event, at Soma Ranch. Please email info@somaranch.com if you’re interested in knowing when the next Texas Trainers Jam is coming up or would like more general information about Nia trainings and retreats at Soma Ranch.

2 Texas Nia Trainers (Helen Terry and Holly Nastasi) provide 10am classes at Soma Ranch on a regular basis.
