Nia is a unique fitness program that tones and trims the body through pleasure, not pain.  It is so kind to the joints that it is done barefoot.  It advocates doing things the easy way instead of the hard way.

Nia is a technique that starts with fitness and ends with comprehensive healing of the body, mind, spirit and emotions.

Niais movement as medicine, it helps many different conditions such as asthma and depression.

Nia is fusion fitness, combining the Martial Arts, the Healing Arts (including yoga) and the Dance Arts.
