Nia

About the Class

A powerful fusion of dance, martial arts and mindfulness practices, Nia is more than a workout. It is a holistic fitness practice addressing each aspect of your life - body, mind, and soul. Nia uses a system of 52 Moves and a variety of inspiring music to deliver full-body conditioning and empowered self-healing. Nia is non-impact, practiced barefoot and adaptable to individual needs and abilities. Nia classes are taught in dozens of countries and languages around the world and has been changing bodies and lives for 40 years. And it's FUN! Nia will move you! *** Christine Stineman, BS LMT is a Black Belt Nia teacher with 18 years experience in somatic education and bodywork.

When she is not dancing, she enjoys spending time with her family, dancing to live music and being on her bike in nature. Christine is also certified in Nia Moving to Heal, Move IT (interval training) and FloorPlay.
