Hi, my name is Anne Pringle Burnell and I have been teaching exercise for 20 years, every trend from hi-low aerobics, slide, step, spin, kick boxing. Then I started studying Pilates, which I had dabbled in back in college. My body felt strong from the inside, I didn't have to use all of my power if I used my core. Then I stumbled upon this strange joyful mix of dance, kickboxing, Pilates, yoga, and it was Nia. So I began again.
I am an instructor trainer with Stott Pilates, ACE, AEA and AFAA so I have fun teaching fellow instructors. I became a Certified Nia Black Belt, my practice goes deeper, I use Nia in everything that I teach: Nia, Stronger Seniors, Pilates, Peyow Aqua Pilates , even when I Sing.
People are so funny when they find out I do a lot of different things. “When do you have the time?”, they ask. I am driven by the love of what I get to do. I hope you’ll join me in “Dancing Through Life. -Anne
