What is NIA?
Debbie and Carlos Rosas created Nia in the early 1980s as a more intelligent and less painful way to workout and stay fit.
Based on both Eastern and Western philosophy Nia, or "Neuromuscular Integrative Action," helps to heal the body, spirit, mind and emotions. It is a fusion of many different movement forms inclucing Yoga, Tai Chi, Jazz, Duncan, Modern, Aikido, Tae Kwon Do, Feldenkrais and The Alexander Technique.
Designed to be both therapeutic and fun it is set up similar to the martial arts with belts awarded for progress and mastery starting with white and proceeding up to black. Those at the highest level are considered to be Movement Medicine Healers.
