"An emotional fitness odyssey, Nia is just plain exhilarating."
The New York Times

"This lyrical, dance-like routine is deceptively powerful, delivering a high-powered workout that will leave you strong and centered." Health Magazine

"Nia (Neuromuscular Integrative Action) combines the strength of Pilates, the flexibility of yoga, the muscle tone of strength training, and top-notch aerobic fitness. Nia is an advanced form of fusion fitness, blending martial arts, healing arts, dance, and spiritual self-healing to create a high-powered, synergistic workout that no isolated exercise technique can match. Created by fitness pioneers Debbie Rosas and Carlos Rosas, Nia presents an entirely new philosophy of exercise that helps you rediscover the joy of movement and being at home in your body.

"With moves drawn from nine fitness disciplines, including tae kwan do, tai chi, yoga, Feldenkrais, jazz dance, and modern dance, Nia promotes strength and muscle definition without the use of weights, and its freeing, dance-like regimen provides a medium for self-healing ... You'll learn to follow 'the body's way' - a fitness concept that teaches you to move in the way that most benefits your individual body; and you'll learn to use visualizations and vocalizations that enhance the benefits of each workout. The overall regimen is phenomenally effective because its holistic approach unites the body and the mind, and creates an exhilarating path that anyone can follow toward a healthy, fit physique, lasting weight loss, and an unlimited sense of your fitness potential."
