It is the first and foremost 'fusion fitness' program of its kind, inspired by three art forms: The Dance Arts - Jazz, Modern, Duncan; The Healing Arts - Yoga, the work of Moshe Feldenkrais, The Alexander Technique; and The Martial Arts - Aikido, Tae Kwon Do, Tai Chi. Nia combines these nine movement forms, that when integrated deliver a safe, effective cardiovascular workout with total body conditioning and personal growth benefits. It is nationally recognized within the fitness and wellness communities. Nia's barefoot, grounded approach maximizes body efficiency and teaches you to consciously move "The Body's Way."
