@KillinDaWelfareMCs In Nia, you sense parts of your body as you move, you interact with your community, and practice different principals like- Awareness, Self Healing, and Listening. (those aren't the names of the actual principals, but it's what they teach)
This looks like the perfect type of fitness workout for me. I have been into mind-body-spirit for a while, but had never heard of Nia. Interestingly enough when I work out at home I have kind of incorporated yoga moves with dance moves similar to this :) I just found a class near me & I'll be joining. Thanks for sharing this!
..it can be found in awareness of & usage of breath, in conscious alignment of bones & body; in finding personal postures of healing when staying with stillness.
for sure more visible at the beginning & the end of class, than where the pace is more intense.

Basically, in the awareness and use of breath.
Also, in the opening of energy centers (chakras), and of course, many of the postures (asanas) are used verbatim in the stretches...enjoy!

@bassofbass
indeed, taken from yoga and other techniques.
but why give it a new name and a sign? business?
I heard there are some quite strict and expensive regulations on who is ,allowed' to teach
