Diane says:
I've been a therapist for 20 years and love the healing, peace and renewal that comes from “touching” another life. Yet there was a “longing” that I couldn't seem to fill.
Wise philosophers say that the true path to happiness is to discover what you love; love what you do; the rest will follow. I love to dance . Once the music starts, I just have to move to the vibrations of the instruments. I “feel” the sound. I'm not a musician or a trained dancer – never been to ballet, jazz or even ball room or salsa dancing lessons – but the desire has always been there to move as effortless and flowing as a the professional dancers in perfect harmony with the vibrational sounds of the music.
Nia® is filling that “longing” . Each time I dance Nia® the experience intensifies, relaxes, renews and leaves me satisfied and desiring more.
Nia® combines dance, martial arts, music and the healing modalities of yoga, eutony and feldenkrias into a unique fitness program that is pure joy, pleasure and fun! We are all too aware of what “hurts” and doesn't feel good or what's uncomfortable in our bodies, but what about the movements that do feel good? In Nia® we begin with focusing on the pleasures of movement, awareness of sensation – sensing what the body is saying and all the while progressing into eliminating the hurts and pain within the body.

Nia® is a wonderful mind, body and spirit experience. Every time I dance, I feel so elevated, powerful and sexy!! There is truly nothing like the Nia® experience. --- Leslie T.
