About Nia

What is Nia?

Nia is a sensory-based movement practice that draws from martial arts, dance arts and healing arts. It empowers people of all shapes and sizes by connecting the body, mind, emotions and spirit. Classes are taken barefoot to soul-stirring music in more than 45 countries. Trainings are designed for those seeking personal enrichment and professional development. Every experience can be adapted to individual needs and abilities. Step into your own joyful journey with Nia, and positively shape the way you feel, look, think and live.

How does Nia work?

Nia draws from Tai Chi, Tae Kwon Do, Aikido, jazz dance, modern dance, Duncan dance, yoga, Alexander Technique and Teachings of Moshe Feldenkrais. Every class offers a unique combination of 52 moves that correspond with the main areas of the body: the base, the core and the upper extremities. Stiff beginners and highly fit athletes alike can adapt Nia to meet their needs by choosing from three intensity levels. Consecutive trainings collectively explore 52 principles for personal enrichment and professional development. Read testimonials from people of all ages, backgrounds and locations.

Why was Nia created?

Nia’s purpose is to grow a worldwide community of healthy people who are empowered to do great things. We believe every person can discover, explore, unleash and enhance their individual potential to live a fulfilling and meaningful life – by engaging their senses and listening to their bodies. With the right tools and education, we can increase our confidence and happiness. We can become connected to others to shape a consciousness that extends beyond our own. Together we will unearth possibilities never before imagined.

Notes About This Class

Classic Nia Class with Jill

A 60 minute non-impact class that blends uplifting music with dance, martial arts and yoga-type floorplay. If you like Jazzercise or Zumba, you’ll love Nia. All the music and easy-to-embrace choreography, minus harsh impact or senseless flailing. With Nia, you’ll learn how to consciously move your body, in a variety of healthy ways, while en-Joy-ing yourself.


If you want to: Improve balance, heart and lung (“cardio”) function, reaction time, and coordination.  Increase your sense of joy and expressiveness.  Feel exhilarated versus exhausted,  improve/balance your mood, find your voice, be part of a community,  and sleep better.


If you like : Zumba, Jazzercise, any kind of dancing, music, old-school aerobics.

A 60 minute non-impact class that blends uplifting music with dance, martial arts and yoga-type floorplay. If you like Jazzercise or Zumba, you’ll love Nia. All the music and easy-to-embrace choreography, minus harsh impact or senseless flailing. With Nia, you’ll learn how to consciously move your body, in a variety of healthy ways, while en-Joy-ing yourself.


If you want to: Improve balance, heart and lung (“cardio”) function, reaction time, and coordination.  Increase your sense of joy and expressiveness.  Feel exhilarated versus exhausted,  improve/balance your mood, find your voice, be part of a community,  and sleep better.


If you like : Zumba, Jazzercise, any kind of dancing, music, old-school aerobics.

Monday night Nia is taught by rotating instructors: 

Week One: Emily Dolan

Week Two: JIll Pagano

Crafting Your Body & Life with Nia's 9 Movement Forms

In any given situation, we have the opportunity to choose how we show up—are we soft and yielding or assertive and quick? Do we bring a sassiness and flair to a situation or are we deeply reflective? What type of energy is abundant in your personality and how can you craft your energy consciously?

Consciously choosing how we energize any situation allows us to actively contribute to the outcome of our life.

In this playshop, you’ll:

•Taste Nia’s 9 unique and complimentary energy personalities(our movement forms).
•Discover which energy personalities you use—overuse or underuse.
•Experience your body revealing to you your energy personalities.
•Learn how to use the 9 movement forms to condition your body for more mind- body- emotion balance.

Schedule:

10-11am Nia class– A body experience of the 9 Movement Forms

11:15-12:45 Playshop featuring the energy personalities and insight into yours!

12:45-1:00 In circle to share your discoveries.

Notes About This Event

 

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP: The pelvis, often called "the seat of the soul," is a powerful container for physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional energy. This very special workshop provides a safe and loving exploration of these four realms. Through presentation, inquiry, reflective exercises, discussion, movement, and meditation, this workshop is designed to ignite or amplify the power of the pelvis. For dessert, we will seal the experience into the body with the power, grace, and sensuality of a uniquely choreographed Nia routine. Come explore second chakra themes involving money, sex, and personal power, as you deepen your awareness and sensation of your most authentic self.

Notes About This Event

At Britta Von Tagen’s beautiful studio called The Dojo, from 5:30 to 7:00pm. JAG will unveil the double album routine, MEGA ROCKIN. This is the ROCKIN routine with an extended playlist, featuring Rockin for a full hour and a half!

ROCKIN is a Nia routine created by Jason Alan Griffin. It was originally inspired by Helen Terry doing a routine to the Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon, and by Bill Stewart setting a classic Nia routine to Rock n Roll music. Both of those experiences took me to places I hadn’t yet gone in my Nia practice. I came back from that weekend newly inspired and I immediately went to work on what eventually became ROCKIN.
