Nia (pronounced Nee-ah) is a dynamic fitness and lifestyle practice combining nine powerful movement modalities and philosophies: Martial Arts (Tai Chi, Tae Kwon Do, and Aikido), Dance Arts (Jazz, Modern, and Duncan), and Healing Arts (the work of Moshe Feldenkrais, the Alexander Technique, and Yoga). Combined, these movement forms bring the body, mind, emotions and spirit to wellness.
Through blending both choreography and freeform movement into 60-minute aerobic fitness odysseys, Nia emphasizes not only physical conditioning, but also creativity, community, self-discovery, and individual expression.
With a deep philosophy rooted in celebrating one's body and expressing one's uniqueness, Nia delivers a joyful, invigorating, and powerful life practice for all ages. The foundation of Nia is the pleasure principle: if it feels good, keep doing it! All fitness and experience levels are welcome!
Every body is welcome! It’s time to let your inner child, dancer, artist, athlete, warrior, seeker, and guru come out to play!
