"If we mistake abundance for burden, if we judge nonlinear brilliance by linear standards, if we believe time is the measure of worth, or if we fear the river; rather than learn to swim in it, then our creativity might seem like a curse. It is not. It is evidence that life force trusts us with something extraordinary. It is the signature of our soul that knows too much to hold inside." read more by The Nia Technique Founder, Debbie Rosas at Awakening Body + Life here: https://debbierosas.com/2025/12/17/divergent-gifts/

"When people ask me what I am here to do, I know that I am here to inspire people to “feel to heal.” I have always known this. Feeling and healing by way of reading the body is my work and teaching people to develop the most important relationship they will ever have, the one they have with their body, inspires me to save the most endangered species on the planet: the body of every human whole being."

"All experience arises out of awareness and all awareness arises out of experience. I believe the body is a gift and that the body in awareness is meant to provide each of us with personal insights and knowledge to help us create and manifest the body and life we desire to help us grow into whole, healthy, happy human beings."

"Lifestyles is where meaning and purpose meet embodiment. It’s where The Nia Technique may become personal and where practice turns into living art. Don’t let the word “sacred” scare you. It means something dedicated to and devoted to a single person, place, thing or special purpose. Living with Nia means sensing your body as sacred space."

"What I have learned through the art of movement is that transformation is never a single event, rather, it is a living and moving process through the body, mind, emotions, and spirit toward becoming. It is like a wondrous current of air that allows me to use the wings of my whole being to fly from one state to another."

"The more I live inside my body, the more I understand that mastery is never a finish line. It’s a relationship. An intimate, ongoing dialogue between the body that moves and the awareness of witness that observes. The path of mastery is not about perfection. It is about presence. Practice is the thing that leads to mastery. It is what keeps us humble, curious, and connected to the intelligence of the living body."

"As a Sensation Scientist, I am committed to continue to study the body, its anatomy, and its movement potential. I am committed to heightening the felt sense of aliveness in everything I do. Each class, each walk, each breath is a chance for me to practice embodied awareness and to notice the pulse of life moving through me."
