What is the Nia Technique?

TRANSFORMATIONAL FITNESS

There is a technique called Nia.  It is a way of exercising and living in your body that is gentle and loving. , and yet still supports your desire for endurance, strength, and flexibility.  Nia blends dance styles, martial arts, and healing arts for a fitness program that is expressive, grounding, healing and empowering, while toning and strengthening the body and energies.
Nia is fuelled by passion and directed by intent.  Nia nudges us towards mindfulness.  Becoming aware of how we move and why.  Making movement choices increases the possibility of making new and healthy choices in our everyday moments.  Choosing the path of least resistance, (or greatest ease), whether physical, emotional or mental attitudes are why Nia is transformational.

Reclaim your power, balance and joy.  Feel fully alive in your body and life. 

Nia coaxes us into a relationship with our body that is grounded in love and respect.  An attitude that allows us to relax and surrender into the wisdom of the body, letting it teach the mind.  Movements, emotions, thoughts, become sensations for us to observe from a powerful centered place where we know who we are and can choose how to respond to the sensation.
