What is Nia®?
Nia isn't just about physical fitness; it's about finding joy in movement, embracing self-expression, and cultivating deep body awareness. It's a holistic fitness practice that harmoniously combines elements of dance, martial arts, and healing arts into a dynamic and uplifting workout experience. And let me tell you, it's truly transformative!
Hi there! I'm Kellie, your Nia instructor, and I'm so excited to invite you to join our Nia dance classes near Eugene, Oregon. But before we dive into the details, let me share a little bit about my journey with Nia.
After becoming a mother and raising three beautiful kids, I found myself feeling disconnected from my body and longing for a way to rediscover myself. That's when I discovered Nia, and let me tell you, it completely changed my life. Nia brought me back home to my body in a way I never thought possible. It was like finding a piece of myself that I didn't even know was missing.
Through Nia's choreographed movements set to inspiring music, I found joy, freedom, and empowerment. I tapped into the way my body naturally wants to move, and it was exhilarating! But more than that, Nia helped me cultivate a deep sense of body awareness and self-love. It's not just a workout; it's a journey of self-discovery and transformation.
Now, as a certified Nia instructor, I'm passionate about sharing the magic of Nia with others. Our Nia dance classes are more than just a fitness class; they're a celebration of life, movement, and community. Whether you're brand new to Nia or a seasoned practitioner, there's a place for you in our Nia family.

Now, let's talk about the moves.
Nia blends low-impact, adaptable movements that are easy on the body and joints. It's like a dance fusion of martial arts, dance arts, and healing arts, all rolled into one. But Nia isn't just about the physical workout; it's about connecting with yourself on a deeper level. It's about tapping into the rhythm of your own heartbeat, the flow of your breath, and the freedom of your movement. It's about finding that sweet spot where your mind, body, and spirit align.
By the end of class, you'll be sweating, laughing, and feeling something you can't quite put into words. It's that magic of Nia—the feeling of being fully alive, fully present, and fully YOU.

Enhanced Strength and Balance: Our classes are like a full-body workout disguised as a dance party. You'll tone and strengthen muscles you didn't even know you had while improving your balance and coordination in the process. This is increasingly important as we get older and want to care for our bodies as we age.
Stress Reduction: Life can be hectic, but Nia can be your sanctuary; an hour of self care just for you. Step onto the dance floor, and let the music wash away your worries as you move and groove to the rhythm of your own heartbeat.

Emotional Release: Ever feel like dancing your emotions out? With Nia, you can! Our classes provide a safe space for you to express yourself fully and authentically, moving through whatever emotions come up with grace and ease. I have navigated intense joy and deep grief and loss through Nia while expressing the full range of emotions that flow through our human experience.
Choosing Joy: At the end of the day, Nia is all about choosing joy through movement. It's about letting go of expectations, embracing the present moment, and dancing like nobody's watching. Because when you choose joy, anything is possible.
