Nia Mind-Body Fitness

While I dance,I cannot judge, I cannot hate,

I cannot seperate myself from life.

I can only be joyful and whole.

That is why I dance."

-Hans Bos

Nia Technique

 Nia is medicine for the body and soul...

Nia addresses the body, mind, emotions and spirit - that which makes you uniquely you - and puts them on the "same page." Nia uses physical activity to integrate one's neurology with one's outer body, or musculature. To achieve this whole-being integration, Nia addresses the whole person using a comprehensive, holistic exercise approach designed with a combination of nine classic movement forms drawing upon the martial arts, the dance arts and the healing arts.

Nia is done barefoot to music and delivers cardiovascular and whole-body conditioning.
