Nia has all the positive fitness benefits of an exercise class; muscle toning, cardio fitness,
including a connection to the music and a joy to move,  but what makes Nia unique and leading edge in fitness and well being is that Nia  teaches movement the way the body was designed to move. This allows an opportunity for postural awarenss and re-alignment and therefore more comfort in the body, an opportunity to regain and increase the pleasure we have from our bodies.
Nia brings an increase in self esteem, 
an outer and inner strength,
flexibilty in body and mind,
a way to experience pleasure,
and a place for friendships to flourish......

A Students Experience with Nia......
'I was filled with curiosity- with an expectation of this to be some variance on the theme of many other aerobics fitness classes but I was wrong...
the music began, by the second song a smile had somehow found its way onto my face.
 
I was dancing,and it didn't matter that I wasn't very good at it (although in my head I was worthy of being on stage!) No one cared. Not even the woman next to me I kept bumping into, nor the instructor who offered many variations for us all.
We were encouraged to do what felt good with simple instructions and to find space inside ourselves. If one Nia class could make me feel this good I wanted to know more..''

The session has now become an 'out of mind' experience which leads to total relaxation. Heather has educated me towards other life enhancing things such as movement, exercise, diet  and self help.
I have never experienced such total relaxation and pleasure through anything else I have tried. I intend to keep this up forever. My heart felt thanks'      from a satisfied Client!
