Nia (Neuromuscular Integrative Action) is a holistic movement practice that combines elements from martial arts, dance, and relaxation techniques to bring together body, mind, and soul. Nia is a fusion fitness class unlike any other. When you step into the practice of Nia, you play and workout with 9 movement forms from the dance arts, martial arts and healing arts. The result is whole body conditioning, increased strength, agility, stability, flexibility and mobility, as well as a “work-in” for your mind and spirit. You leave class feeling energized and sweaty, calm and relaxed. Nia’s 52 foundational movements are easy to learn and can be modified for any level of fitness. As we move in our bare feet (shoes are optional, just be sure that they are not street shoes) the low impact moves stimulate our awareness of our bodies, deepening a connection to the life force energy of Joy that resides in each of us. 

No experience is necessary, all fitness levels, ages and sizes are encouraged and invited to step into a Nia class with Beth. Beth also offers Workshops, Dance Parties, and One-on-one Nia sessions

Enjoy a blend of Somatics (SomaYoga) to unwind the body and asana/postures for movement and strength. By slowing the pace down, we have the opportunity to refine and understand alignment, create space and opening in the body, and become aware of the subtle energy flow within us, revealing inner strength. Once we practice pranayama (breath practice), we can link breath to movement in a flowing sequence. All levels will find benefit – beginners have time to absorb the elements of a new practice, and the more advanced have time to go deeper into the asana and breath with intention and tapas (heat). Each teacher brings their own unique style to the Slow Flow classes they teach. No experience is necessary.

Class Times:

• Wednesdays @ 9:30 am

• Thursdays @ 9:30 am & 6:30 pm

• Also offered as “Sunrise Yoga” on Mondays & Wednesdays @ 6:30 am

Outdoor Slow Flow is offered June through October on Tuesdays.

SomaYoga Therapy is a unique approach to building strength, stability, and flexibility while connecting mind + body. We blend neuroscience (Somatics), ancient yoga practices, and functional movement to build intelligent, conscious body awareness. Somatic movements release tension patterns & retrain muscle imbalances. Yoga practices regulate the nervous system, calm the mind, and strengthen the body. These combined can lead to greater ease in our daily activities & movements, help prevent injuries, and bring more awareness to causes of stress.

This class is accessible to everybody as you are guided to find the postures, movements, and variations that are unique to your body. It is ideal for anyone interested in finding a more free, curious, and awake relationship with their interconnected mind/body/spirit. No experience is necessary.

Through slow, mindful movement and breath, we gently unwind stress patterns, regulate the nervous system, and create space for deep rest and renewal. The practice concludes with a long guided relaxation to support integration, healing, and a return to inner balance.
