It is addicting. It is life-changing. It has<br />
given me an awareness of my body that<br />
I have never experienced before, and at<br />
43, I feel stronger, more mobile, more<br />
agile than ever in my life. Nia is ageless,<br />
transformational, and effective for every<br />
person - from athletes and dancers to<br />
people who just need to get moving, to<br />
children, special needs groups and the<br />
elderly. Nia addresses the whole person<br />
through music and movement integrated<br />
from nine traditional movement forms.<br />

while creating a loving relationship with<br />
one’s own body by tuning into the innate<br />
