Nia...

Nia combines dance arts, healing arts, martial arts and mindfulness. It is a practice more than a workout, like a moving meditation.

Practicing Nia nurtures your: 

  • Unique self... enabling you to live your best life
  • Physical body... energizing you through increased awareness
  • Mind... bringing clarity to focus on only what you want
  • Emotions... accepting your emotions, leading them to enter natural balance
  • Spirit... through connection with your surroundings, movements, and other dancers

Nia Classes

Let's Move Together to Feel Good!

Nia is a unique combination of nine movement forms drawn from dance, martial arts and healing arts. We move our entire bodies in a healthful, sustainable way to sense joy and pleasure, not pain. Nia is for all fitness abilities and all ages. Nia can be an intense aerobic workout or more easy and gentle, depending the level of intensity you bring to the movement.

Classes are available both online/live streamed and in Minneapolis, MN.

Ready to bring Nia to your next event?

Hi, I'm Beth Giles

I stepped into my first Nia class in 2004 and my life was forever changed. I started teaching Nia in 2012 and have had the pleasure of guiding hundreds of people to feel better in their bodies, to move for self-healing, joy and fun.

Teaching Nia is my passion, my purpose and my joy! I believe all of us, no matter our age, gender, level of physical fitness, are born to move and dance our bodies to sense the joy of being alive. Nia is a movement and fitness practice unlike any other.

We move our entire bodies, minds and spirits to sense our bodies for increased fitness, to expand and heal our emotions, and to create our best lives.

In addition to teaching Nia I love to sing, practice Reiki, hike, garden, read, explore new places and be with my family and friends. Dance often!
