Nia

About this event

Nia is transformational, JOYFUL and expressive. It teaches you to be more alive in your body, both inside and outside the studio. Done barefoot to diverse and inspiring music, it is holistic; engaging body, mind, and spirit. Nia draws from dance arts, martial arts and healing arts to create purposeful movement. Nia increases the pleasure of living in your body; it creates weight loss and proper weight maintenance; Nia strengthens muscles and improves muscle tone; it calms the mind and relieves stress; Nia increases grace, flexibility and endurance. Nia is practiced by people of all walks of life, ages and fitness levels. Originally developed in the mid-eighties as an alternative to high impact aerobics, NIA then stood for Non-Impact-Aerobics. Today it stands for JOY OF MOVEMENT!
