Notes About This Class
Nia is a sensory-based movement lifestyle that leads to health, wellness and fitness.
Nia Class (Classic) is a multi-dimensional movement practice of The Body’s Way/Your Body’s Way; this group movement class conditions the physical, mental, emotional and spirit realms. Nia movement is medicine for self-healing. Participants are encouraged to explore individual and community expressivity through body awareness. The choreography of Katas (movement sequences of stances, steps and kicks) and FreeDance are blended in each Nia Class fusing movement from the martial arts (precision), dance arts (expression) and healing arts (functional and self-healing). Each class moves through 7 Cycles: Focus and Intention, Stepping-In (letting go of distractions), Warm-Up preparing the body for full-body – systemic movement), Get Moving (continuous movement increasing breath and heart beat), Cool-Down (slowing down), FloorPlay (to integrate the body’s nervous system through the 5 Sensations of Nia – Flexibility, Agility, Mobility, Stability and Strength), Stepping-Out (completing the class Focus and Intention to return to the remainder of the day). Nia delivers the promise of integrating mind/body/spirit through sensation. No previous movement/dance experience necessary; all levels are welcome.
