Nia offered Wednesday’s at 7pm!

Nia is a path to condition, heal and express yourself through movement and sensation. A dynamic blend of dance arts, martial arts and healing arts, balancing technical precision with free-form expression, Nia brings the body, mind, emotions, and spirit to optimum health through music, movement and self-expression, guided by the sensation of pleasure. Through Nia practice, you learn to foster awareness of your life through physical sensation, allowing the ‘voice of the body’ to direct your actions and choices, leading to a general state of what Nia calls ‘dynamic ease’. Practiced barefoot to music, each person is invited to move at his/her own level of intensity, adapting moves to their body potential at any given moment. While delivering cardiovascular, whole-body conditioning, Nia creates a loving relationship with one’s own body by tuning into ‘the body’s way’, the innate intelligence of the body. Nia is designed for any body. This is a classic Nia class for all ages and fitness levels. Come dance and play with us in the joy and magic of Nia! Preregistration for classs required.
