Commonly Asked Questions about Nia:
How does this work?
Nia teaches you how to physically interpret and internally direct your actions and choices; to listen to the voice of your body and allow the body to be your guide in discovering dynamic ease. Practiced barefoot to music, Nia is self-guided, adaptable and safe for any fitness level, from stiff beginners to highly fit athletes. Delivering cardiovascular, whole-body conditioning, Nia is based on creating a loving relationship with the body and following its innate intelligence.
Is it safe? Is it effective?
Talk with your medical team before starting any new physical exercise program. Nia is safe for people of all conditioning levels if you can follow your body’s cues and not do more than is comfortable or safe for you. If you have healing injuries, work closely with your physical therapist while doing any exercise program.
What to expect?
You will dance and move freely but within a format of movements led by a trained instructor. You are barefoot, wearing workout or casual clothes, and do Nia in a group with other participants. We meet in the education room at the spa. Get ready for fun!
Is it covered by insurance? How much does it cost?
Nia may be covered as an aerobic exercise in some corporate wellness and insurance programs. Check with your program or insurer for your wellness benefits. Please contact us for more information.
