Laura Olinger: Certified Nia White Belt Instructor. I want to get old in a strong, fit, flexible body - I'll be doing Nia for the rest of my life! Just 12 years (that includes a 5-year sabbatical) after my first Nia class, I finally took the white belt intensive in March, 2010, taught my first class 16 days later, and haven't looked back!. I love teaching Nia, and am available for subbing for classes in and around Boulder, CO.
