Yael Hochenberg

Offering Nia Dance classes

listen to your body, engage your senses, be who you are - choose joy!

Nia is an expressive body-mind-spirit movement programme that offers an artistic and innovative approach to fitness and healing. Drawing from aspects of Martial Arts, Dance Arts, and Healing Arts, Nia provides a variety of movement dynamics to create an experience that involves body and spirit. 

The use of soul-stirring music, guided imagery, powerful kinaesthetic cues and heart-felt joy add to the full Nia class experience. Every class guides students to mindfully focus on sensation in their body while listening and dancing to music. Each class has its unique magic that grows personal awareness and expression. Classes are adaptable to individual needs and abilities, with movers empowered to explore a variety of intensity levels and ways to modify movements to safely condition their bodies. Beginners welcome.

Yael, advanced-level Nia Practitioner (First Degree Black Belt), has extensive experience and qualifications in dancing, music and healing. She is passionate about sharing this practice, and teaches Nia classes, workshops and retreats all over Gloucestershire and further afield.
