You’ll learn a fun, simple and powerful way to explore anatomy and integrate that exploration into your own body in an effortless and relaxing way. Nia 5 Stages leads to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being by tapping into the five stages of human development: embryonic, creeping, crawling, standing and walking.
