Get Fit the Body's Way Nia is an expressive body-minded movement and lifestyle practice, embracing fitness and health.
The original vision of The Nia Technique was born from the idea that fitness could look, feel and be experienced differently - in a less painful, more pleasurable way. This vision included barefoot aerobics, holistic and integrated fitness, wellness, personal growth, education and community.
Nia creatively integrates movements, concepts and philosophies from both Eastern and Western traditions.
By embracing the gifts of the healing arts, we embody sensation, the backdrop upon which all of our practice takes place. Martial arts and meditative techniques teach mindfulness, a powerful tool for self-discovery. Dance techniques teach how to move with grace and fluidity. And integrative body therapies help us understand how to self-heal through awareness and alignment that improves functioning. Various psychological tools support the self-guided process, allowing students to become self-empowered and to take charge of their own growth and well-being - a transformational experience in and of itself.
The practice of Nia offers both traditional and non-traditional benefits.
Traditional benefits of Nia include cardiovascular conditioning, flexibility, strength, balance, endurance and relaxation. Nia delivers more esoteric benefits through the conscious application of specific meditation and concentration techniques. Nia engages the spirit and touches people's hearts, giving them permission to play and more intimately connect with themselves and with others. It encourages inner exploration and self-discovery and guides students to move through their own unique, infinitley creative space.
Nia is guided by the Pleasure Principle - if the body feels good, accepted and loved, it will naturally become stronger and heal.
