Want to learn more about Nia?
Several students have asked me about the music I play in class. Almost all of it comes from NiaSounds. Here's a link to checking out the CDs of music that Nia sells. Each of the CDs has a preview option so you can hear the songs first. Enjoy!
For resources on learning the 52 Moves, you can click on this link.
Nia Black Belt Instructor Donna Starnes takes you through all 52 Moves in these eHow videos.
Another wonderful resource on the 52 Moves is the book, The Nia Technique, by Debbie and Carlos Rosas, founders of Nia.

Speaking of Nia!
I recently spoke to a group at Fairview Southdale Hospital about Nia and its philosophies. We also moved and danced together and experienced some of the 52 moves. If you have a group that would enjoy an hour presentation about Nia, I'd like to tailor a talk and movement experience just for your group. Contact me at bethgilesnia@gmail.com.

Ready to Feel Good in Your Body?
Come dive into the joy of movement! Nia is a unique combination of nine movement forms drawn from dance, martial arts and healing arts. We move our entire bodies in a healthful, sustainable way and become aware of sensations in our bodies. We dance and move in Nia to sense joy and pleasure, not pain. Nia is for all fitness abilities and all ages. Nia can be an intense aerobic workout or more easy and gentle depending the level of intensity you bring to the movement.
Dress in comfortable clothes, that you are willing to get sweaty in. We dance in bare feet, but shoes are optional. Bring a water bottle. Bring a yoga mat if you like that for the floor play part of class.
If you have any questions about Nia or the classes/events listed here, please send me an e-mail or give me a call, 612-802-9127.
Yours in the dance of life,
Beth
