This week Raquel and Jennifer speak with Teresa Myers and Jennifer Hicks. Teresa and Jennifer are Nia Technique Teachers and Trainers who teach somatic fitness/movement through the lens of embodied social justice. Through sensation and movement, they help women create a sense of safety, dignity and belonging for themselves and others through their Nia Technique classes, workshops and trainings.

Teresa is a founding member of and consultant to Nia Technique's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council and Jennifer is a council member.  They also consult to organizations on the intersection of movement and Embodied Social Justice. They regularly provide workshops to their Nia community on social justice-related topics (e.g., Diversity: Oppression in the Body; Diversity: Body Acceptance;  Privilege: The Currency of Health) and use social media as a way to educate about social justice issues.  Jennifer is also a founding member of the Rebel Body Collective (a community of weight-neutral, size-inclusive, HAES-aligned, body liberation-oriented movement professionals) and is a Size Inclusive Fitness Specialist.
