This is the key that unlocks our minds, bodies, and spirits to encompass freedom within, which creates a ripple effect throughout our bodies and expands positive energy creating true freedom in our Life Force both inside and out!

Nia Technique was developed by Debbie and Carlos Rosa over 35 years ago. Their journey led them to create a fusion of martial arts: Tae Kwon Do, Tai Chi, and Aikido. They added to the mix Jazz, Modern Dance, and Isadora Duncan.  And to round out the whole body, mind, and spirit experience, they added the healing arts: Yoga, Feldenkrais, and the Alexander Technique.

These nine movement forms are incorporated into the Classic Nia class routines in 5 to 20 minute intervals lasting about an hour. They are designed to follow "The Body's Way" which is the science of observing the physical design of the body and using this as a map to dictate proper functions and use, while at the same time allowing flexibility. Recently, many Nia classes are being offered in 5 to 20 minute intervals, which allows students to incorporate the Nia Technique into their lives throughout the day.
