Nicole C is an environmental attorney turned NIA fanatic and white belt instructor from Southern California.  Growing up on the beach and doing competitive sports all her life, Nicole has always maintained an active lifestyle.  NIA, however, has brought a whole new realm to her fitness routine that truly engages her mind, body and spirit. NIA has helped her become more aware and in touch with her body, using the body as a better indicator of her emotional health than her mind.  As important, NIA is just plain fun.  Nicole says, "The hour of dancing NIA is often the best hour in my day!  The opportunity to share this joy with others is exciting and inspirational."
