Nia Benefits
What’s to love about Nia? Keep reading…
Nia presents an entirely new philosophy of exercise: whole-body, expressive movement, rather than repetitive jogging or lifting. Nia's barefoot, grounded approach maximizes body efficiency, cultivates energy, and teaches you to consciously move in a gentle and integrated way. Jan Jensen offers choices to adapt all movements to suit all fitness levels.
Why Should I Choose Nia?
Nia is simply a delightful way to connect to your body, your heart, and your spirit.
A Nia class will awaken feelings and sensations throughout your entire body. The movements allow you to listen to and trust your body, to grow through self-expression, to relax into comfort and strength, and to revitalize and uplift your spirit and emotions.
Join Jan for Nia classes, workshops and retreats.
