It empowers people of all shapes and sizes by connecting the body, mind, emotions and spirit. Classes are taken barefoot to soul-stirring music. Nia draws from disciplines of the martial arts, dance arts and healing arts. Every class offers a unique combination of 52 moves that correspond with the main areas of the body: the base, the core and the upper extremities. Stiff beginners and fit athletes alike can adapt Nia to meet their needs by choosing from three intensity levels. We invite you to step into your own joyful/healing/conditioning journey with Nia, and positively shape the way you feel, look, think and live. Read our article about The Nia Technique.
