About Winalee

Winalee Zeeb will dance into your heart, give it a lift and a light, as in “lighten up, relax and enjoy” – life is for living. Her exuberance is deeply and honestly rooted in the depths of her own soul searching, as her journey continues to feed her.

Winalee is a First Degree Black Belt Nia Teacher and Trainer from Lansing, Michigan. She is a certified instructor for Yoga for Health, American Red Cross First Aid, and CPR. Winalee has been teaching fitness classes since 1981. She also enjoys sharing her passion for life through motivational speaking and singing.

A Passion for Sharing Movement

I began teaching in the fitness industry in 1981. I had a passion for exercise, and although teaching aquatics courses, water exercise and aerobics filled that passion, they were based in traditional fitness practices. That unconscious form of fitness ultimately led me to exhaustion, burnout and physical pain. In 1984, as a result of being in the traditional mode of exercise, I severely injured both my knees. I had numbed myself to my body’s voice of pain, which led me to requiring surgery.

Then, in July of 1991, I was really on the edge of quitting teaching. I attended the IDEA Fitness Conference and I saw a sign that said ”Body, Mind, Spirit Workout.” I had not seen the word ‘spirit’ used in any other courses offered. Immediately, my curiosity drew me to take the workshop. It was a Nia workshop, and I clearly recall watching Debbie and Carlos enter the room and sensing every cell of my being recognize their radiance. They took the stage, and did something unheard of at that time in the fitness industry – they invited us to take off our shoes and move barefoot. Those first barefoot seconds of passionate movement had my hurt knees saying “ahhhhhhh” as they experienced healing through movement. After tearfully dancing a deep healing awakening, I registered for the White Belt Intensive. I sensed a deep knowing within myself that Nia had much to teach me. I eagerly attended the Blue, Brown and Black Belt trainings in annual succession.

In February of 1997, after years of practicing Nia and many hours of teaching, I Winalee Twirlwas blessed with the honor of becoming a Nia Trainer. Words merely cannot express the infinite gifts my heart receives from the privilege of being a Nia Trainer. I travel internationally teaching Nia, and I am passionately in love with what I share. I sing professionally and am a motivational keynote speaker, as well as a Rising Star energy practitioner and Yoga teacher. My ability to balance all that I love I owe to the teachings of Nia. I am honored to joyfully dance in the sea of life with all of you!
