What is Nia?

Created by Debbie Rosas and Carlos Rosas 25 years ago, The Nia Technique combines movements and concepts from Martial arts, Dance arts and Healing arts, blending music, vocal sounding and self-expression into dynamic, hour-long routines. While most often practiced in hour-long classes, the true depth of the work lies in a rich body of education that develops into a powerful life practice. With a philosophy rooted in "The Joy of Movement," Nia teaches people of all lifestyles to choose Pleasure as the path toward physical, mental and emotional health.

Revolutionizing the world of fitness and wellbeing, Nia is today taught to nearly 100,000 students by over 2,000 Certified Teachers in 37 countries. With a "More-Gain, No-Pain" philosophy, Nia bursts boundaries of age, gender and fitness levels, delivering a fun, effective and life changing practice for all walks of life.

Yoga: A Pathway to the Heart with Rob Flanders

This is a class for practitioners of all levels combining ancient Sanskrit prayers & chanting, foundational life principles of the yogi, asanas (physical postures), pranayama (breath control) and meditation to guide us on an exploration of “...the mind/heart in stillness.” We also incorporate the words of the mystics, saints, contemporary students of yoga and ancient texts. It has been said that yoga is a science that enables us to directly perceive and realize the deepest layer of reality. In the classic text on yoga, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Patanjali states, “Yogas chitta vrtti nirodhah”. “Yoga is establishing the mind/heart in stillness.” (Translation from The Wisdom of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, Ravi Ravindra.)

*Class meets on the 2nd - 4th Mondays, unless there is a fifth Monday which we will have class also

Cost :

$10 'drop in'

$25 if you sign up for the three sessions,
