How many times a week should I do Nia?
Attending NIa regularly is a way to really learn the 52 Moves.

The result is better body awareness, cardiovascular tone, deep strength, and joint flexibility.
Will I lose weight with Nia?
Nia is cardiovascular, and it increases proprioception – that means while you work out, you also increase your felt-sense of what’s right for your body, and what’s not, including what you eat, and how much. With an enhanced intuitive felt-sense, you don’t have to over-think it anymore, you just “know” what works. Many people find this one of the most pleasurable ways to improve fitness levels. And, as with any weight loss program, we also recommend you see a professional for complete guidance.
