I found Nia 15 years ago when I peeked into a class at my new gym and saw people doing something that looked irresistably and exuberantly joyful. On an early lunch break the very next Tuesday I took my first class. Wow! Nia felt even better than I imagined it would.

I love seeing beginners respond to Nia, and I love connecting with people who return to class again and again because they, too, have fallen in love ...
