My name is Elaine Dunphy and I am a true seeker of JOY!
Joy of life, joy of movement, joy of laughter; I firmly believe that there is no such thing as too much joy.
Since my very first class, the Nia Technique has brought me so much joy that I decided to spread that feeling to others wherever and whenever I can. With my Nia on the Rock classes, I bring this unique mind/body/spirit conditioning movement practice in person to people across Newfoundland and online to people anywhere.
I am a Nia blue belt and a certified instructor with training in ‘Moving to Heal’ and I am committed to helping people connect to their own sense of playfulness.
My classes allow people to take a break from any stresses in their daily lives and relax into the joy of focused movement. And, I am proud to report that my students say that the fun they have in class colours their perspective, helping them to find more ease and balance in their daily lives.
They become joy seekers, which adds to my joy in a wonderful circle of increasing happiness all around.
