NIA with Cathy Smith, Certified NIA Instructor

NIA is Neuromuscular Integrated Action, a non-impact, aerobic fitness practice. NIA in Swahili means “attention”. An NIA practice involves dancing with attention, awareness and presence in the here and now resulting in a holistic mind-body workout.

NIA classes use simple dance steps and martial arts moves along with great music to keep your mind and body moving. NIA is adaptable to different ages and fitness levels and it’s FUN!.
