INSTRUCTORS
Cindy Scholz – teaches Friday 5:30 – 6:30 pm
I love teaching NIA. My greatest pleasure is sharing the joys of movement, the wisdom of yoga and the strength of the martial arts with my students. My desire is to facilitate fun by creating an atmosphere of acceptance in order to give students the freedom to express their own unique beauty.
I have studied NIA with Debbie Rosas and Carlos Rosas. Trained as a Jazz dancer with Jeanette Neill, and served on the Board of Directors for Boston Youth Moves. I’ve practiced Anusara Yoga with Jennifer Harvey and completed the Anusara Immersions with Deb Neubauer. And I’m currently studying the SvaTantra meditation teachings with Professor Paul Muller-Ortega.
Cindy facilitates fun by creating an atmosphere of acceptance giving each student the freedom to express their unique beauty. Come share the joy!

I love living in my body now and feel so blessed to have this relationship which is filled with bliss rather than self critcism. Nia was a spring board to incredible self awareness and growth.

My intention is to help my students feel this way too.
