Kate Evans - Certified Nia White Belt

I began practicing Nia in 2004.  It was a stressful time in my life.  I had 2 small children, my husband was in graduate school, and I worked full time night shifts as a labor and delivery nurse.  During my first Nia session I felt something Ive never felt during an exercise class.  I felt like I had come home. I left feeling more joyous in my body, more alive in my body, more enthusiastic about life, and definitely de-stressed.  The next day all my muscles ached and I knew that I had also gotten a great body work out.  

Professionally, I am a registered nurse.  My nursing career has focused on Womens Health.  I believe in a holistic approach to health care.   Nia is a holistic approach to exercise, integrating the mind, body, spirit, and emotions in each class. 

When we moved to Cornelius, NC in 2006 I was disheartened by the absence of Nia in the area.  In lieu of Nia I began practicing yoga, however, there was still an empty place in my heart that Nia filled, and so in the fall of 2007 I went home to Charlottesville, VA, trained with Helen Terry and obtained my White Belt certificate.   I am so exited to bring Nia to the Charlotte area.
