Feeling Whole

I adore this description of Nia I found on the Aspire Magazine website. The article titled "Feeling Whole: Reconnecting and Celebrating Self-Love through Yoga and Dance" was published in April 2009: 

Nia™ (Neuromuscular Integrative Action) includes 52 moves by combining nine movement forms from the martial arts, dance and yoga. President and Co-founder of Nia™, Debbie Rosas shared how this form of movement helps women embrace their bodies:

“Nia gives women the opportunity to feel the feminine body, and the freedom to do what a female body does: change. There is a great desire in women for a space in which to have a creative voice; Nia creates this space. Moving the hips, swaying and sensing what it feels like to be a woman moving, Nia connects women to sensation, the Voice of the Body. Nia gives women the freedom to say “yes” and “no” and to affirm the meaning of both as a sensation. Nia is a ‘Love Your Body’ workout, and women are all about love.”
