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 found its way onto my face. There was no pounding and jogging on the spot
Heather encouraged us to do what felt good with simple instructions and to find space inside ourselves. I felt comfortable and unrushed and delight, If one Nia class could make me feel this good I wanted to know more..'' .........
Heather offers a community, a place to feel good, make friends, get fit and feel healthy.. come along and join us..... in Rossendale, Lancashire for dance fitness, holistic health and wellbeing.
