In a Nia class, you’ll notice in a Nia class is the smiles, fun and genuine sense of Joy – in addition to the sweat. You’ll see bodies of all ages, shapes and sizes, and people from all lifestyle, professions and movement backgrounds. Physically, mentally, emotionally and even spiritually, Nia provides a platform for exploring and aligning every aspect of the human experience. Every Nia class includes both structured and free-form experiences, a harmony of movements soft and powerful, sharp and fluid, linear and spiraling, explosive and relaxing. ‘Sounding’ and vocalizations are used to release tension, engage emotion and imagination, effectively engaging the physical body and increasing cardiovascular endurance. While Nia’s 52 Moves provide the choreographic foundation for each class, each person’s movement is guided in the Voice of their own body.
