About the Instructor:
Diane Firtell: (Nia Dance Fitness) Diane is a certified Nia Black belt and has been teaching Nia for over 23 years. She currently teaches classes at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, where she introduced Nia over 15 years ago, at Berkshire Yoga Dance and Fitness in Pittsfield, the Stockbridge Senior Center and Kimball Farm Rehab in Lenox. In Diane’s words “Through Nia I have reconnected with the joy of movement, the passion I have, and belief I share with others, for simply moving expressively. I’ve also noticed an immense increase in flexibility as I age. Nia has also allowed me to appreciate and even love my body. No small task! I also practice yoga which is a beautiful complement to Nia.”
When Diane is not teaching Nia, she is a working artist. She finds the holistic qualities in the practice of Nia, freedom of expression, playfulness and attention to detail, are qualities she brings to her art making. Reflecting on the two passions in her life, Nia and making art Diane says " I now spend all my time either making art or moving. I lead a truly blessed life.
