For A New Approach to Fitness . . .
Try . . . 
Nia is an energetic blend of movements drawn from dance, martial arts, and healing arts. Each Nia session is set to music and focuses on flexibility, agility, strength, stability, and mobility through both choreographed and freeform movements.
No experience in dance or martial arts is required – just a willingness to experience something new and fun and GOOD! Nia is easily adaptable to most fitness levels and during each class you determine the level of challenge that fits for you in the moment.
Nia can be relaxing, energizing, releasing, or just plain fun!
