The Nia Technique: Fusion of Yoga, Dance, Qi Gong and Aikido (March)

Done barefoot, Nia’s grounded approach maximizes body efficiency and teaches you to consciously move in a gentler way. The result is improved muscle tone, increased flexibility and endurance, and a calmer mind.

Nia blends the expressiveness of dance, the power of martial arts, and the wisdom of the healing arts. The guided practice creatively encourages students to move in ways that are natural to their bodies. Classes are adaptable to every age and fitness level.

Kelly Fitzgerald-Holland holds a black belt in The Nia Technique. Since 1994, Kelly has been studying African-inspired dance and other movement forms, including belly dance, Sufi techniques, tribal-dance, tai chi, and yoga. She began her study and practice of Nia in 1999, and was certified as an instructor in the Nia Technique in 2004.
