About Us

Welcome to Island Moves Collective, where movement is more than just exercise – it's a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and community.

Island Moves began when Karen first started teaching Nia over 15 years ago, inspired and supported by her teacher, Jinti Wight-Boycott. It has now evolved into a Collective of dedicated Nia teachers, each bringing their own energy, expertise, and style to the classes.

At Island Moves, we truly believe in the power of collaboration. Our Collective model allows us to offer a diverse range of teaching styles, ensuring that every individual can find their perfect fit. Whether you're drawn to the dynamic energy of Meg, the soulful rhythm of Phil, the expressive energy of Sarah, the free-spirited vibe of Bronwyn, or the playful spirit of Karen herself, you'll find a class that speaks to your heart and soul.

But our Collective isn't just about diversity – it's about support and community. We work together to share the workload, allowing each of us to focus on what we do best: teaching and delivering each class with passion and dedication. When life throws a curveball, we've got each other's backs, covering for one another and ensuring that our classes run smoothly, no matter what.

Join us on this journey of movement, connection, and growth. Whether you're a seasoned Nia enthusiast or taking your first steps onto the dance floor, you'll find a warm welcome and a supportive community waiting for you at Island Moves Collective.

Let's move together and make magic happen.
