About Nia
In the martial arts there is a word, buto meaning the martial way. In fitness there is a word, Nia meaning the body's way. Like sound, Nia is everything. It is integrated and connected. Like a song the sound of Nia carries its own resonance. It carries a unique soul. The soul of Nia is ancient. It honors the true heritage of humanity and carries within it the heart of goodness, love and peace.
"It
is no longer enough to merely analyze as a way to understand, for
much of what we feel cannot be measured or seen. We must open up
and feel and explore life through the gifts that the body provides
us. We must use our mind in expansive and fluid ways, unearthing
and blending the treasures we have forgotten and awakening those
treasures waiting to be discovered."
Debbie Rosas & Carlos Rosas
Founders and creators of
The Nia Technique ®
Nia
simultaneously addresses the body, mind, emotions, and spirit, and
puts them on the “same page.” Nia uses physical activity to integrate
one’s neurology (including the mind, emotions, and spirit), with
one’s outer body, or musculature. To achieve this whole-being integration,
Nia addresses the whole person, using a comprehensive, holistic
exercise approach designed with a combination of nine classic movement
forms.
Nia is done barefoot to music and delivers cardiovascular and whole-body conditioning. Because Nia is self-guided and based on creating a loving relationship with the body and following The Body’s Way – the innate intelligence of the body — it is adaptable and safe for any fitness level, from stiff beginners to highly fit athletes.
Nia teaches you how to physically interpret and internally direct your actions and choices, and to listen to the voice of your body and allow the body to be your guide in discovering Dynamic Ease.
