What do local students say about Nia?
It was such a fun and joyful experience! I left there more relaxed and calm than I have been in years!-CS, busy mother of 2
Over the decades I have done many programs to stay fit--- including The Royal Canadian Air Force program, Tai Chi, Yoga, aerobics and dance. I believe NIA ranks with the best. After a workout I sense my whole body tingling with energy--signs of an excellent workout and nothing ever feels strained!-JA, Senior Student
“I’ve always been a little scared of organized exercise classes because they seemed competitive or too far beyond my fitness level. When I went to my first Nia class, I was doubly hesitant because I didn’t consider myself a dancer. But Amy’s encouragement got me in the door, and now I’m hooked. The class is not intimidating because everyone is working at their own fitness level, and it doesn’t matter—AT ALL—if you don’t get the steps right as long as you’re moving and having fun. Every class is about joy and acceptance, and I’ve become a dedicated fan!” LO—school teacher
I LOVE going to Nia for the fun and reap the benefits of exercise too!!! My ankles and feet are definitely stronger. I have more mobility in my upper back and the calorie burn is a wonderful bonus. I really appreciate the "feel good" I get from Nia. BS-artist
My husband pushes me out the door to go to Nia. He says "You come back from class a new woman-alive, full of energy and ready to take on the world!" He is soooo right.
