PERSONAL GROWTH & TEACHER TRAINING
The Nia Technique is an expressive body-mind movement and lifestyle practice, integrating fitness and health. Nia creatively blends movements, concepts and philosophies from both Eastern and Western traditions.
By embracing the gifts of the healing arts, we embody sensation, the backdrop upon which all of our practice takes place. Martial arts and meditative techniques teach mindfulness, a powerful tool for self-discovery. Dance techniques teach how to move with grace and fluidity. And integrative body therapies help us understand how to self-heal through awareness and alignment that improves functioning. Various psychological tools support the self-guided process, allowing students to become self-empowered and to take charge of their own growth and well-being - a transformational experience in and of itself.
