Britta von Tagen grew up near the source of Nia in Portland, Oregon where she took her first Nia class taught by the creators of Nia, Debbie Rosas and Carlos Rosas. Inspired by this unique freedom of movement  combined with mental focus, Britta received her White Belt in Nia and started teaching in 1995.  

While pursuing her Elementary Education degree at The University of Idaho, Britta also taught Nia for the University’s PE department. Britta was the first Nia teacher in the state of Idaho and very much a pioneer. Once  she completed her education and received her Black Belt in Nia, she decided to combine working with children in the traditional sense with The Nia Technique.

Britta now has created a multi-age movement and brain development center in Sun Valley, Idaho where movement and education come together for all ages!
