You can still view our calendar and book classes using our website or app. However, you must now pay each teacher directly. (Only Alanna's classes can still be paid for online). Please book the class on the site or app and then e transfer your teacher or bring cash.
Please note, most classes now require a minimum of 3 pre-paid people for classes to run, and we will make the call at 24 hours prior to class. So please book early (at least 24 hours in advance) to ensure that classes will run. Thank you for your understanding!
OUR STUDIO
We are located at 1217 Canyon Street in the heart of downtown Creston. We have a small space of about 800 square feet which allows a maximum of 10-12 students for movement classes and 10-14 for yoga.
​
There is plenty of parking on the street and in the two large public lots behind the CIBC one block over. Our studio has been renovated with a brand new heating and air conditioning system with high quality air filteration. We sanitize the bathroom and touch points, as well as clean the floor after each class and do a deep floor and entire studio clean and disinfect weekly.

Testimonial
13+ years into the practice, Nia continues to support an enjoyable, soul-friendly everyday practice that honors all aspects of being human: body, mind, emotions, spirit. It's a workout, a community builder, a possibility to create livelihood in ways I could not imagine - and yet, hoped for. It's sweat, silliness and serenity in the same package.
