A barefoot dance workout set to great music, Nia is an innovative and dynamic fitness program with a holistic approach to physical well-being.

Nia is the most imaginative combination of fitness and fun – it is a path to condition, heal and express your self through movement and sensation.
Yoga is an ancient traditional discipline that combines an intensely physical practice with mental focus and breathing exercises.

Yoga poses, or asanas, develop greater flexibility and strength, while breathing exercises foster inner calm and mindfulness.

Attention to the breath benefits the entire body as well as calming the mind.  Yoga helps to develop increased awareness of your own body which leads to improved posture and greater self-confidence.
Nia creatively combines movements from the Martial Arts, Dance Arts, & Healing Arts, with an eclectic blend of music.  Nia delivers a holistic cardio workout that tones, strengthens, & delights the senses.
Nia promotes greater range of motion, a mindful approach to movement, & a playful yet meaningful sense of community.  The benefits are endless.  Here’s what a few of my students have to say: 

Nia brings the body, mind, emotion and spirit to optimum health through music, movement and self-expression, guided by the sensation of Pleasure.
Nia is designed for any body.  It is ageless and limitless, transformational and effective for every person everywhere, from athletes, dancers and fitness instructors, to children, special needs groups and the elderly.

With the philosophy, Through Movement We Find Health, Nia addresses the whole person through music and movement, integrating a body-mind-soul workout.
"Nia helps me find balance in my life.  It makes my body feel good.  It makes my soul feel free ... and it's so much fun!"
"Nia is like a wonderful drug - safe to be addicted to, has long lasting and positive side effects, allows me to escape to another world where I can be without judgement, negativity, criticism, or stress!  What a wonderful feeling!"
Yoga
Self-realization, relaxation, focus and concentration, and universal harmony are the cornerstones of yoga.
Yoga enhances the mind-body connection, which can improve your mood and physical health - and even lighten various psychological disorders. Depression, body image struggles, eating disorders, and physical issues such as back pain and asthma all benefit from yoga practice and meditation.
“When I come to the studio, I never look at the clock to see when 'exercise' class will be over.  I enter another realm of connection which transcends time.”
For harmonious attunement, movement is valuable; for careful concentration, stillness is valuable.  Movement is patterned on heaven, stillness is patterned on earth;  when body and mind are both calm, heaven and earth join.

The secret of fitness is in the joy of movement

Stop exercising.  Start moving.  Use your body the way it was designed to be used.  The Nia Technique is a revolutionary way to get fit using movements from the Martial Arts, Dance Arts and Healing Arts.  Follow the pleasure principle: if it feels good, do it; if it doesn’t, stop.  Cardiovascular, healing, Nia is a structured yet creative way to move your body like you’ve never moved it before!
