I invite you to Step In and Choose Joy. The pun is intended!
STEP IN
As we begin each Nia® class, we Step In. We do this to leave all distractions behind, center ourselves and be present for our practice.
CHOOSE JOY
Joy is a central theme in Nia. The first principle of Nia is The Joy of Movement. In life, sensing joy or feeling joyful, is often a choice. For me, because I happen to be named Joy, I realized choosing joy also means choosing myself. I invite you to choose yourself. Choose you! Every day! And choose joy, too! I believe Nia can guide you there.

In Nia, the movement is pleasurable and kind to the body. It is usually practiced barefoot. It is adaptable to every level of fitness, every age and type of body. Nia was created in California in 1983. Now headquartered in Portland, Nia is taught by 2100 licensed instructors in more than 40 countries worldwide.

And I said to my body, softly, “I want to be your friend.” It took a long breath and replied, “I have been waiting my whole life for this.” – Nayyirah Waheed
