Nia Fitness: Dance, Yoga, Martial Arts

I use Nia as a therapeutic adjunct to Physical Therapy Rehabilitation.  I individualize private Nia sessions for people with back pain, neck pain, chronic fatigue, sports injuries, and orthopedic issues.  I also offer private sessions for those New to Nia and for those who want to work on Nia technique and alignment.

Please contact me to find out if a private Nia session is covered by your health insurance.

What is Nia?
Nia is a workout, movement practice, lifestyle and personal growth program.

More than a physical fitness program, Nia is a way to condition, heal and transform your body, mind, emotions and spirit.

Nia is a system that blends Eastern and Western movements, concepts and philosophy derived from three main movement areas:  Martial Arts (mindful precision), Dance Arts (personal expression) and Healing Arts (self-healing).

The philosophy of Nia is based on "The Joy of Movement" and rooted in the pleasure principle:  If it feels good, keep doing it; if it hurts, stop and adapt what you do to feel better.

Nia is adaptable to people of all shapes and sizes and leads to health, wellness and fitness.

A therapeutic Nia session will be customized to your needs and may include a blend of the following Nia tools:
  • 52 moves that condition the whole body
  • 5 sensations:  flexibility, agility, mobility, strength, and stability
  • 9 Movement Forms:  drawing from dance, martial arts, and healing arts
  • 5 stages of healing-based on developmental movement
