Nia Black Belt Teacher, Susan Tate composed this message to share at the Nia White Belt graduation at The Dance Space last April. It’s a lovely dedication to self love, and I refer to it often. Thank you Susan. Enjoy!

May you always welcome and accept the infinite Joy available to you through the Nia Technique.
May you always commit to yourself in a gently way.
May you allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, and to love.
May you honor your loving and strong voice – and never let anyone silence you.
May you feel empowered to do the great things that honor your unique gifts and talents.
May you drink in the pleasure of your senses as you lovingly listen to your body – and know that it’s ok to be a pleasure-seeking missile.
May you remember who you really are.
