About Nia

Nia was founded in 1983 by Debbie Rosas Stewart and Carlos Rosas. Nia draws upon the essences of martial, dance and healing arts. These movement forms include: T’ai Chi, Tae Kwon Do, Aikido, Jazz Dance, Modern Dance, Duncan Dance, Feldenkrais, Alexander and Yoga.

Nia welcomes all levels of experience and is adaptable to a variety of ages and body types. Nia is practiced in bare feet to music.

Nia is a sensory based practice that connects body, mind, emotion and spirit. Nia is grounded,  joyful, exhilarating and expressive.

Nia conditions and heals, with an emphasis on seeking the sensation of pleasure and joy.

Nia is holistic, fun, and for many, a wild and beautiful journey.

Nia advocates moving “the Body’s Way.”

Through movement we find health.
