Nia blends a range of rhythmic music styles with carefully choreographed hour-long routines. It is the first and foremost 'fusion fitness' program of its kind, inspired by three art forms: The Dance Arts - Jazz, Modern, Duncan; The Healing Arts - Yoga, the work of Moshe Feldenkrais, The Alexander Technique; and The Martial Arts - Aikido, Tae Kwon Do, Tai Chi. Come discover the power and joy of this creative, savvy, energizing fitness class.
The group's purpose is to provide a community forum to increase awareness of all NIA activities in London, including local area JAM sessions, special performances, classes and other events. If you are interested in a fun and powerful workout that focuses on the joy of movement rather then boring, painful and repetitive up and down then this might be for you!
Nia is a blissful and inspirational movement class that is packed with power. Raw, uninhibited dance and martial arts movements choreographed to the sounds of world music.
Awaken. Experience. Move. Be moved.
