Nia for self-healing Series  
Nia for self-healing Series Nia is a non-impact, barefoot exercise technique for all ages and abilities. It combines influences from dance arts, martial arts and healing arts with an emphasis on moving comfortably and joyfully "your body's way." The benefits are myriad, including joy (emotional well-being), trunk and spine flexibility, improved balance, cardiovascular conditioning, leg strength, using up excess calories, improved posture, understanding how to move without hurting yourself, and experiencing the connection between your mind and your body.
