What is Nia?
What is Nia? . . .
Nia is a fun, barefoot workout to uplifting and inspiring world music. Nia incorporates modern dance, healing arts like yoga and martial arts. You are invited by your instructor to engage your imagination, senses and emotions in a way you may not have done since childhood. Gaining strength, toning muscles and exercising the brain are happy by-products of this joyful hour.
What to Expect. . .
Many people wonder what to expect from a Nia class. Nia is fun, we laugh, we sweat, it brings a sense of freedom and joy.
You are not expected to be slim, young or coordinated. You are invited to move in your body’s own way and do more of what makes you feel good.
Each class is carefully crafted with two warm up songs, tracks in the middle that gently increase your heart rate and then some slower songs at the end which incorporate an element of floor play. It is a whole body workout exercising your heart, muscles and ligaments but it also engages the mind and spirit leaving you uplifted and refreshed.
