"Nia is movement medicine for the body and soul"

Nia is the ultimate "East meets West" method to tone your body, mind, and spirit. It’s fitness fusion at its finest. Nia is all about joyous movement to become healthy. Short for Neuromuscular Integrative Action, Nia’s barefoot, grounded approach maximizes body efficiency and teaches you to consciously move in a gentler way. The result is a fusion of movement styles that are freer than any other dance-based exercise.

You’ll experience the expressiveness of dance, the power and explosiveness of martial arts, and the wisdom of the healing arts. Modern dance movements are mixed with heart-pumping karate kicks and subtle therapeutic suggestions and visualization techniques help you develop awareness and heighten sensation.

Nia is a calmer, saner way to stay fit that is based on 13 main principles designed to strengthen your heart and whole body. Nia will calm and enliven your emotions, motivate your spirit, and direct your mind to enhance thought processes, including your ability to mediate, visualize, and focus. Nia will awaken feelings and sensations in your whole body.

Nia can be adapted to fit your personal needs and can be experienced by anyone, from stiff beginners to highly-fit athletes. The classes creatively encourage personalization and free expression.

Nia is user-friendly, flexible, and playful and is medicine for body and soul.

What is Energy Work?

Everything in and around us is energy. Depending upon the culture you are in, this energy is referred to as qi, chi, ti, lifeforce or many other names. A variety of vibrations and methods utilize this life force energy to bring back balance into one's body, mind, spirit and emotions. Energy balancing is a technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. If one's "life force energy" or chi is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress(imbalance), and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy(balance). Physical illnesses are often the manifestation of these imbalances in our mental and emotional bodies that are suppressed and unresolved that later manifest in the physical body. Energy work helps bring us back into balance the emotional, mental, spiritual and physical energy bodies. This results in whole-being wellness....the totality of who we are in this human experience...

.....spiritual beings having a physical experience.
