Avoiding activity related injuries is a key determinate for how long most people will stick with a particular fitness program and how much they will enjoy it in the meantime.

From their very beginning, Nia movements have been designed to harmonize with the "Body's Way" and to give rise to enjoyable feelings - not injury.

Once we reach that point, our well-being and fitness rests in our own hands.
