Welcome to The Nia Technique!

Nia is an exhilarating & dynamic movement program that empowers people to make their own movement choices by offering a flexible structure they can personally modify to suit individual needs. Nia is practical, experiential, and focuses on internal guidance to develop awareness and stimulate creativity. It’s fun, it’s funky, and it creates change.

Created by Debbie and Carlos Rosas over 25 years ago, Nia blends dance arts, martial arts and healing arts, with an approach that will stimulate you to revolutionize the way you feel about fitness, focusing on how your body feels, rather than how it looks. Addressing the whole person, Nia will pump your heart, spark your spirit, lubricate your joints, motivate your mind, release your tension, enhance your balance and tone your muscles with expressive movement, and mindful awareness. Nia will move you!

The foundation of Nia is the pleasure principle:  if it feels good, keep doing it! Movements are designed to be adaptable by students according to their own intuition.  From those who are just beginning, to dancers and athletes, students of all levels and backgrounds will be challenged and energized.
