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.”

"Every single day,
without exception, make at least one attempt to open yourself to seeing life as
it really is - a work of art.
When you do this, you will begin to Dance Through
Life as if it were the only possible way of living."

Carlos Rosas, founders of the Nia Technique

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!!
