Gentle Nia

With Allison

Are you needing to treat your body gently, yet longing to move to music? Come experience the magic of dancing to beautiful music while maintaining a sense of safety, awareness, and delight. Gentle Nia helps you increase and sustain the pleasure and health you feel as you move across the dance floor and on through your day. We will focus on how to strengthen the core of the body so as to be able to extend outward safely. This is a class for any body, whether you are new to Nia, or a Nia "regular." Drop-ins welcome!
