Janie Peterson
I bring a love of movement and the philosophy that" through movement we find health" to my classes. I was certified as one of the first educators when Ageless Grace was first introduced in January 2011. I have been leading multiple weekly classes ever since in retirement centers, assisted living facilities, memory care facilities, fitness centers, and through the parks and recreation. I have and continue to give programs and demonstrations for clubs and organizations. As a Certified Nia Black Belt Teacher, I also have a background in dance, nutrition, and body building. My intention is to inspire my participants to take control of their health by embracing their bodies in thankfulness and moving within the range of motion that they have at that moment.
