\"SelfHealing\"<\/a>One of the best things for me about Nia is that it’s not only a\u00a0great fitness\u00a0practice – but a great\u00a0energy practice as well.<\/p>\n

The sophisticated energetics of Nia\u00a0are\u00a0what made it possible for me to do\u00a0Nia when I was totally disabled in my thirties by asthma – and to heal my body as a result.<\/p>\n

Nine archetypal\u00a0energy personalities comprise\u00a0the neuroanatomy of the\u00a0Nia\u00a0Technique.<\/p>\n

What Are Nia’s Energy Personalities?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nia’s energy personalities are the essence of each one of Nia’s nine movement forms – from dance, martial arts and healing arts.<\/p>\n

When Nia creators Debbie Rosas and Carlos AyaRosas\u00a0were exploring\u00a0how to move without hurting themselves, destiny led them to study these nine forms, which cooked all together inside their bodies to be born as\u00a0Nia.<\/p>\n

Martial Arts<\/span>
\n<\/strong>All martial arts arise\u00a0from human beings observing the natural world over millions of years. \u00a0Every martial art is based in how a specific animal, plant, wind, water, or stone moves.<\/p>\n

The martial arts teach you\u00a0the energy intelligence of the natural world and the ability to sense in your body what is “just enough.”<\/p>\n

Tai Chi<\/strong>\u00a0brings you the energy intelligence of water, earth and wind, and teaches you to be centered and grounded in your body and your life.<\/p>\n

Tae Kwon Do<\/strong>\u00a0channels\u00a0the energy intelligence of ferocity and so you can empower\u00a0your voice with both\u00a0“Yes!” and “No!”<\/p>\n

Aikido<\/strong>\u00a0offers you the energy intelligence of making peace with all things.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dance Arts<\/span>
\n<\/strong>Dance arts invite you to express\u00a0your individuality – through your unique body, mind emotions and spirit. \u00a0Dance\u00a0has been part of\u00a0ceremony,\u00a0ritual, courtship and celebration since the earliest human, animal and plant cultures.<\/p>\n

Jazz Dance<\/strong>\u00a0kindles the energy intelligence of the uninhibited, sensual\u00a0and fun.<\/p>\n

Modern Dance\u00a0<\/strong>imparts\u00a0the energy of introspection, form and freedom.<\/p>\n

Duncan Dance<\/strong> –\u00a0from\u00a0the lineage of\u00a0Isadora Duncan –\u00a0<\/strong>invites\u00a0you into the energy of your authentic\u00a0spirit, so you can soar\u00a0freely through all dimensions.<\/p>\n

\"Hand\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Healing Arts<\/span>
\n<\/strong>Nia as a self-healing practice provides space for us to regenerate and repair our bodies and our lives. \u00a0The healing arts are at the root of all dance and martial arts.<\/p>\n

The Work of Moshe Feldenkrais\u00a0<\/strong>educates\u00a0you in the neurological intelligence of comfort as a strength.<\/p>\n

Alexander Technique <\/strong>provides\u00a0the energy intelligence of\u00a0being aligned and balanced between heaven and Earth.<\/p>\n

Yoga<\/strong>\u00a0teaches you the energy intelligence of conscious alignment of bones and joints.<\/p>\n

As applied energetics teacher Paul Richards says, “Energy follows the physical.” \u00a0In other words, whatever I do with my physical body, my energy body does the same thing.<\/p>\n

The 13 White Belt principles<\/a> comprise the\u00a0anatomy of the Nia Technique. \u00a0Nia’s nine movement forms make up Nia’s\u00a0neuroanatomy.<\/p>\n

\"neuroplasticity\"<\/a>The extraordinary diversity\u00a0the\u00a0nine movement forms bring ensures my physical, mental emotional spiritual and energy bodies all receive\u00a0the variety of movement nutrition needed for good health and well-being.<\/p>\n

As Nia founder Debbie Rosas says, “The brain\u00a0loves variety!”<\/p>\n

Nia’s\u00a0movement forms\u00a0stimulate the brain in unpredictable and\u00a0complex ways. \u00a0This is exactly the nutrition the brain needs to stay vital and healthy, stimulating the brain to\u00a0create new pathways (neuroplasticity<\/a>) and new brain cells (neurogenesis<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Come enjoy Nia’s\u00a0nine movement energies in a Nia class<\/a>, A\u00a0Taste of the Nia White Belt workshop<\/a>, or the Nia White Belt<\/a>.<\/p>\n
