About

Terre Pruitt is a Certified Nia White Belt and a Licensed Nia Teacher. 

A couple of years ago I was sitting on the couch and I made a comment, like I had always done, about being fat or out of shape (I don’t even remember what I said).  My husband must have been sick of hearing it because he said, “Why don’t you do something about it?” —-ARGH!!!— For once he was right.  Why did I just complain about it and never do anything?  So, I bought a Turbo Jam DVD and have been working out every since.

As I started working out I realized that people need to move.  Our bodies were made to move.  The saying, “Use it or lose it” applies to movement, strength, balance, agility, all that stuff that goes along with our bodies.   So I decided that I wanted to do something to help people, but I didn’t know what.  I know I am not the stereo typical Personal Trainer type person, but I thought that I could get certified as one and start there.  I am a certified personal trainer, and I would love to work with people as a trainer to help them get healthy, but it wasn’t until I found Nia that I felt I could really help a larger number of people and in a totally complete—mind/body—way.

I love to practice Nia.  I love the way I feel after I have “done something Nia.”  But I also still enjoy other types of workouts.  I think that people need to find what they enjoy because they need to keep moving their bodies their ENTIRE lives.  There is so much information out there about health, wellness, and fitness, I am learning what I can and thought I could share some tidbits with you. 

Terre is also a Certified Personal Trainer through the National Council on Strength and Fitness as well as a certified PiYo Instructor.

    Thanks for visiting my blog, Terre! The custards don’t seem all that rich to me but you can make them with 2% milk if you like. Let me know what you think. And I saw your comment about the challah–I am coming to SJ next week. My hostess wants a challah lesson and I want to take her to Nia with you so…things could work out well for you in the challah department :-) Looking forward to meeting you!

    • The cheese custards might not be that rich, but it is the “custard” that makes me THINK rich. Thanks for the idea of using 2% that would help!

      I burst out laughing when I read this. And I said, “Oh don’t tease me!” I am still laughing. I don’t think I have had challah since I worked at the company that would have it delivered (when I was 15 – 20 years old)! It would be so fun to have you in class. I look forward to meeting you too.
