Today I am thankful for Nia. I had a great workout today and really felt in tune with my body. For those who are new to Nia, here is a description for you.
Nia simultaneously addresses the body, mind, emotions, and spirit, and puts them on the “same page” using music, movement and personal expression to integrate one’s neurology (including the mind, emotions, and spirit) with one’s outer body, or musculature. To achieve this whole-being integration, Nia addresses the whole person using a comprehensive, holistic exercise approach designed with a combination of nine classic movement forms: Martial Arts- T’ai Chi, Tae Kwon Do Aikido; Dance Arts- Jazz Dance, Modern Dance, Duncan Dance; and Healing Arts- Yoga, Alexander Technique, and The Teachings of Moshe Feldenkrais.
Nia teaches you how to physically interpret and internally direct your actions and choices, and to listen to the voice of your body and allow the body to be your guide in discovering Dynamic Ease. Practiced barefoot to music, Nia is self-guided, adaptable and safe for any fitness level, from stiff beginners to highly fit athletes. Delivering cardiovascular, whole-body conditioning, Nia is based on creating a loving relationship with the body and following The Body’s Way – the innate intelligence of the body.
My instructor is excellent. She truly knows how to get us to tune into our spiritual, emotional, and physical selves and make them one. I leave my class feeling rejuvenated (and sweaty) and ready to face the day! It feels good to move and feels good to feel good! Come join me!

That sounds wonderful! And it would be so fun to be your workout buddy. Too bad we don't live closer to each other.
Wow, sounds cool.
