about

creating the space & setting the intention...

mbody's owner, simone seitz, took her first nia class in a gym and was hooked. impressed with nia's cardiovascular workout, touched by its mind-body aspects and excited to learn more, she nonetheless felt uncomfortable exploring nia in a gym setting. simone thought others would want the same: a safe, nurturing, non-intimidating space to explore nia and other integrative mind-body movement forms and... the ability to take the type of classes she wanted, whenever she wanted, all at one place...the seeds of mbody were planted!

to more fully know nia, prepare and become white-belt certified for the studio, simone went to portland to take the week-long intensive training with nia's founders, debbie rosas & carlos rosas. next, she spent her time with teachers, peers and professionals to create the home for nia and mind-body fitness in asheville. with much planning, care, love and support mbody was created.

"i wanted a beautiful studio where outstanding teachers would love to teach and people would really enjoy coming for mind-body fitness. there is such a need for this type of space; what started as a 'nia studio,' has become the place for health & wellness with movement as its core. mbody is inviting and comfortable, you just have to step in. you won't believe how good it feels... inside!" simone
