Rebecca Boedges

Rebecca Boedges has always had movement as a part of her life, whether it was dancing in the kitchen when she was younger, playing sports, or more formally making it a profession. She attended Naropa University for Dance Movement Therapy and has been a student of Nia for 10 years. “Through movement we find health” is the motto of Nia and Rebecca has found this to be true for herself and others in her class.

Ten years ago, Rebecca walked into a Nia class for the first time, immediately hooked, she began practicing regularly. Through her journey with Nia she realized that during her other workouts like running and lifting weights, she was in pain, and would spend most of the time imagining herself anywhere but the present. In Nia, she found a home in her body, and a Joy for the class which kept her coming back again and again. Knowing that she would be moving to Burlington, VT, Rebecca after many years of being a student attended a week long intensive training to become a certified White Belt Nia instructor.  She has now been practicing as a teacher for two years in the Burlington area.

Rebecca recently completed her MS in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Vermont. She lives in South Burlington with her husband Mark, a local landscape artist, and their cat Max.
