What if I am not used to exercise?
DON'T PANIC! The way that Nia has been constructed means it can be tuned to you as an individual, so you work at your own pace within the group.

Ok, but what if I am quite fit already?
The less fit members of the class will not hold you up, as Nia can be tuned to you as well.

What is Nia?

They discovered that getting fit and healthy through pleasure is the way to heal, and is the key to health. Nia was born, - which embraces individual creativity and self-empowerment and is now recognized as one of the most innovative and safe cardiovascular of activities. Nia is now taught in nearly every state in United States, as well as in 30+ other countries around the world.

Does Nia require special equipment?

Does Nia require a trained teacher?
