About Nia

         Nia is an exciting transformational fitness technique. It blends martial arts [tai chi, tai kwon do, & aikido], healing arts [work of Moshe Feldenkrais, and the Alexander technique], dance arts [Duncan dance, jazz & modern dance] and spiritual self-healing to create a high-powered, synergistic workout. The eclectic, lyrical music that accompanies a Nia routine makes Nia a pleasure-based experience.

         Nia, created by Debbie & Carlos Rosas 22 years ago, presents a new philosophy of exercise. It brings you home to your body and helps you rediscover the joy of movement.

         In class you tone, tighten, strengthen and lose pounds and inches as well as find great pleasure in doing it. You learn the “Body’s Way” – a breakthrough fitness concept that teaches you to move in the way that most benefits your individual body. Nia is taught in three levels and is appropriate for all fitness abilities. You learn to use visualizations and vocalizations to enhance the benefits of your workout. The experience is holistic; it unites the body and mind. Nia, once known as “non impact aerobics” and “neuromuscular integrative action” is presently just Nia, an energizing workout that gives you a new body and a new life.
