Summary: Nia is a holistic alternative to the modern-day fitness routine. The practice of Nia began in the late 1980s and has had healing benefits ever since. It is not only a fitness practice, but a lifestyle choice for many. Nia incorporates the mind, body, and soul into a creative and empowering practice.
