Red Dancing Dragon

People often ask me, “What is Nia?”.  Nia is not something that I practice because I wish my body looked different, it’s not something that I do because I think I should get a workout in.  It’s something I do because I want to.  It’s fun.  It feels good.  It brings me joy.  Are there consequences to approaching a work out by seeking pleasure?  Yes.  I have the opportunity to self heal every time I move by sensing my body and moving in a way that is right for me.  I’ve stopped being amazed every time I am able to keep up with activities like mountain biking, downhill skiing, sledding, taking an Insanity class with an American Ninja Warrior (yes - I actually did that this weekend), and hiking.  Nia has made my body strong, flexible, agile, mobile, and stable - all without pushing through pain of any kind.  Another piece of Nia that keeps me coming back is the community.  Everyone is honored and respected - just where you are.  Some may be celebrating finishing a marathon and others are celebrating getting down to the floor and back up again without assistance.  Watching the Nia community support one another is truly amazing.  I would recommend that anyone interested in the class come and check it out.  Come as you are.  Your are perfect as is.  Nia is waiting for you!
