Nia anyone?

Options
So...I'm about to head to my first class of Nia. I had never heard of it before. It's a non-impact, gentle movement 'workout' that combines a variety of Healing Arts, Martial Arts and Dance Arts. My boss wanted me to try it with her as she's had a double knee replacement and wants to find something to help her stay flexible. We both are dance instructors.

Has anyone here ever done this type of class before?

What did you think of it?

    I took a few classes in Portland Oregon and loved it! I had never been a dancer and get confused with choreography, but the Nia class was so fun and creative! I've moved a few times since and always look for Nia classes. Hope you like it!

    I'm back from the class!!! And I LOVED it!!! Signed on for the full session!

    To me, it was a milder version of Zumba with some yoga/martial arts feel. I was sweating within the first few minutes so that's good. I'm one of those who needs to sweat to feel like I've worked out. LOL

    Looking forward to going again next week. :-)
