What is the Nia brand worth in South Africa?

Nia is a result of 26 years of credibility and work as the leading body mind technique in the US. Nia is found in over 42 countries across the globe. Introduced in South Africa in 2002, the brand and awareness of the work has been built up over the last eight years with extensive media coverage (magazines, television, radio and internet) and the introduction of Nia at many events nationwide. Nia teachers are thus supported and backed by the huge public awareness and demand for the work in South Africa.
