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.” -Natural Health Magazine

Nia Class Focus: Moving the body in ways to sense Stability

Posted by Carmen Loureiro Hadas on Saturday, November 14, 2009, In : Classes 

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!'

Green Belt Certified Blue Belt Nia instructor 082 687 9839 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!!
