NIA

Nia is an exercise class in which finding joy in meshing and moves to the music is first priority. A mosaic of music is paired with a mosaic of movement forms drawn from dance, martial arts, and yoga to create an hour of exercise which includes work in strength, balance, agility, flexibility, and aerobic capacity. The creative exploration of texture and expression makes the "work" truly unique -even joyous.

Women and men of all athletic abilities and dance backgrounds (from zero, up) are welcome. Nia relies on the participants to craft the intensity level of each move -from gentle healing, to extremely athletic. The instructor offers guidance as to how to do this, and models the spectrum of intensity levels.
