New to Nia?
Each Nia class is designed to welcome all levels of experience and fitness. If you are new to Nia, we invite you to come as you are and to allow yourself to be curious. The choreography is designed to be easy to follow and yet varied enough to inspire new movement patterns in the body… which in turn create new pathways in the brain!
What should I bring to class?
Are you planning to attend your first Nia Class? Congratulations!
The great thing about Nia is that it requires no special equipment or training. Nia is practiced barefoot so you don’t even need to bring shoes, although you they may be helpful in getting to and from class.
We recommend you wear comfortable clothing that will allow you to move, groove and dance. A bottle of water is always a great idea to help you stay hydrated during and after class.
