One of the guiding ideals of Nia is what we call “The Pleasure Principle” using comfort and ease as a way to move and get fit. Nia Technique is taught in such a way that you are guided and empowered to make your own movement choices moment to moment. As such, you’ll probably find Nia Technique to be gentler on your joints than exercises which feature repetition such as jogging, tennis, aerobics and so on.
