Jennifer Hicks brings back The Nia Technique: Dance, Get Fit, Have Fun!

The High-powered Energizing Workout That Gives You A New Body And A New Life!

March 9th to 11th

Kick off your shoes, move, get fit, and have fun! Come experience Nia, a barefooted fitness practice which blends dance, martial arts and healing arts (i.e., yoga). Nia is suitable for everyBODY, from the beginner to the elite athlete. Nia’s ground-breaking work is recognized as one of the most innovative and safe cardiovascular programs to date and is considered a pioneer in the health and fitness world.
Nia will show you how to really MOVE, not just exercise. Through Nia, you’ll learn to move according to The Body’s Way, that is, according to the design of the body; the way we were meant to move. This means moving away from pain and towards pleasure, all with greater awareness. Moving away from guilt-drive  to desire-driven movements, training all the muscle groups instead of just the small muscle groups, creating internally directed and expressive movements. Nia emphasizes muscle balance while strengthening and training the nervous system. It allows us to not only create physical fitness, but also invites fitness of the body, mind, spirit and emotions.

Through Nia classes and movement exercises, this weekend will allow you to experience the expressiveness and grace of dance, the mindful power and explosiveness of martial arts, and the wisdom that comes from sensation through the healing arts. You will learn how to customize a Nia workout so that it suitable for your fitness needs.

Please wear comfortable clothing that will allow you to move freely and easily.
