Nia is like Chocolate - a sensation not easily described - you have to taste it!
You’re burning fat and calories, building your muscles, giving your heart a real workout—but you’re not pounding, running or panting. Your feet are planted, your mind is calm, your body is fluid. Welcome to Nia.”

I'm looking forward to the first class tomorrow. There have been a lot of inquiries about classes. People want to commit to their health and fitness and have fun at the same time. The focus for the class is going to be: COMMITMENT TO THE JOY OF MOVEMENT THIS YEAR The beauty of Nia is that we don't only benefit physically and have a fabulous time, we can also experience personal growth. For me personally Nia has been a great package deal for my lifestyle! A Nia class is my one-stop one-hour 'ti... Continue reading...

We
Have Come to Be Danced
Not
the pretty dance Not
the pretty pretty, pick me, pick me dance
But
the claw our way back into the belly
Of
the sacred, sensual animal dance
The
unhinged, unplugged, cat is out of its box dance
The
holding the precious moment in the palms
Of
our hands and feet dance.
We
have come to be danced
Not
the jiffy booby, shake your booty for him dance

When you do this, you will begin to Dance Through

I cannot hate, I cannot separate

I did a lot of swaying the hips and tail bone to engage the muscles between the hip bones. Walking through the rest of the day I had a sense of my upper body, especially the space between my pelvis and chest LIFTING OUT OF MY PELVIS. I realised that at other times I might be sinking into the pelvis. Activating the sensation of Stability helped my spine to 'float' up and had a positive effect on my posture. 'Aha!'

I still vividly remember my first Nia class - it was an experience of “coming home” to my self. The movement felt good-for-my-body and pleasurable for my soul. I was able to release stress and negative energy to allow space for vitality and joy. That evening I went home to my family sweaty, glowing and enthusiastic to explore Nia further. Nowadays I also appreciate the outlet Nia gives me for creativity and self-expression and the sense of community that emerges over time amongst class participants. I do Nia for the stress release, fitness, moving meditation, body sculpting, self-healing and last but not least for the sheer fun of it!

Dancing Through Life
Nia is a powerful mind-body-spirit movement practice. It's done barefoot to diverse music, and it draws from healing arts [yoga, the Alexander technique and Feldenkrais], dance arts [jazz, modern and Duncan] and martial arts [tai chi, tae kwondo and aikido].
Nia is a fun way to get fit, strong & flexible, to lose weight, combat stress & improve wellbeing. It is for any body size, age, fitness level & dancing ability.
No experience necessary!
No “co-ord” necessary!
You will leave sweating, smiling and wanting to come back for more!!
