Nia Somatic Dance – Avalon

Nia is a somatic movement practice that leaves you feeling uplifted and alive! Its a joyful, cardio dance workout to music.  This class incorporates simple movement patterns and is designed to condition your body and bring up feelings of inner joy and connection. Nia draws from 52 basic moves based on the intelligent design of the body. These moves lubricate joints, strengthen and stretch muscles and promote stability, flexibility and agility. You will step out of a Nia somatic dance class feeling energised, mentally clear and balanced. Suitable for beginners and over 55s.

Gentle Nia – Over 55s Move to Feel Better – Avalon 

Gentle Nia is great if you prefer a low impact, less aerobic dance class. We use the same joyful music and moves as Classic Nia but with less physical intensity. Gentle Nia is taught at a level 1, the most intrinsic, close to the body movements with an emphasis on moving with pleasure, improving strength, mobility, flexibility and  balance. This class can be done standing or sitting and is suitable for beginners.
