Free Intro to NIA - Energize and Promote Ease at Dream Yoga Studio

As part of Free Class Week at Dream Yoga Studio & Wellness Center:

Come discover why more and more people are taking up
Nia! --a powerful, fitness practice taught worldwide that blends the
elements of jazz and other Dance Arts, the Martial Arts (Tae Kwon Do,
Tai Chi and Aikido), and yoga and other Healing Arts (Feldenkrais,
Alexander Technique) to give you a mind-body experience that conditions the whole body and gives you a sense of greater well-being.

"It's
about indulging yourself. It's about pleasure. It's about listening to
your body and doing what it wants to do, not what some hard-body drill
instructor wants it to do. And, strangely, it's exercise." (News Observer, October 2010)

During
each class or workshop, you will learn classical Nia moves, and learn
to modify and personalize the movements to maximize the benefits, which
include:

• A good overall workout!  Nia uses all body parts.
• Improves body comfort & function
• Helps you maintain mobility & stability
• Increases cardiovascular strength
• Non-impact and safe for the joints
• Adaptable for every age, fitness level & body type.

Wear
comfortable clothing that you can move in. The class is done barefoot;
but if you have any foot injuries, you may wear soft-sole sneakers or
Jazz shoes. Bring plenty of water!

"For
those who think we must suffer in order to get a good workout, it may
be time to try Nia, a physical conditioning program based on a premise
that movement is a pathway for self-discovery and personal
transformation."

(Rhode Island Natural Awakenings, June 2011)
