My purpose is to inspire people to feel to heal.
What I believe - More than just a workout, Nia is a holistic fitness practice addressing each aspect of your life - body, mind and soul. I believe every person can discover, explore, unleash, and enhance their individual potential to live a healthy and meaningful life by engaging their senses and listening to their bodies.
What others believe - Most people have never heard of it. When they hear it includes dance moves, their first response is apprehension but then I highlight the FUN part! Come with an open mind! I have all been in their spot, not knowing anyone or any of the moves. Be as kind to yourself as you would be with anyone trying something for the first time, and have FUN!
What it stands for - Neuromuscular Integrative Action, Now I am - Nia is based on The Body’s Way, which means using the body’s natural design to improve function. The biochemistry, joint and muscle action are triggered using imagination, music, emotion and vocal sound. Nia addresses the body’s five main sensations: flexibility, strength, mobility, agility and stability, and focuses on conditioning the body and the nervous system.
