“I Love Nia! It’s a total mind, body, spirit celebration”

Christiane Northrup, MD
Author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom

“This lyrical, dance-like routine is deceptively powerful delivering a high-powered workout that will leave you strong and centered.”

Health Magazine

“Nia is both therapeutic and enjoyable. The movements feel natural and open up insights and feelings that will make you feel like you are discovering yourself in a new way.”

Bernie Siegel, M.D.
Author of Love, Medicine & Miracles and 365 Prescriptions for the Soul

“Carlos Rosas and Debbie Rosas provided a wonderful gift to the fitness industry with the creation of Nia in 1983. Long before anyone knew what ‘fusion’ meant, they were combining yoga, martial arts, and dance to create a workout that is joyful, soulful, and meaningful. It is a unique form of exercise that has to be experienced to be appreciated.”

Kathie Davis
Executive Director
IDEA Health & Fitness Association

“A fun and comprehensive workout that exercises not only your body, but also your mind and your heart. Whatever your age or body type, Nia offers you a point of entry and enough instant reward to stick with it.”

Gloria Steinem

“You’re burning fat and calories, building your muscles, giving your heart a real workout—but you’re not pounding, running or panting. Your feet are planted, your mind is calm, your body is fluid. Welcome to Nia.”

Natural Health Magazine

“For twenty-five years, I have practiced many types of exercise and mind-body disciplines, including several forms of yoga, running, aerobics, tai-chi, chi-gung, and Feldenkrais™ exercises. I can say with confidence that the Nia technique represents the most satisfying synthesis of these approaches of which I am aware.”

Jeffrey Mishlove, Ph.D
Author of The Roots of Consciousness

“I got stronger in sprint and endurance training in the water, and I had a new feeling for my body, both in the water and on land. Nia helped me become centered and grounded before racing.”

Ann Christensen
Olympic medalist

“Your strength, balance and flexibility will improve with these exercises. They’re based on everyday movements—done slowly with concentration and precision, they give you a good workout.”

Glamour Magazine

“I knew the science, but didn’t know how to use it. Nia gave me the tools as a teacher and in my own life. Nia opens infinite possibilities.”

Deborah Kern, PhD, Nia Black Belt
Executive Director of Lifestyle Enrichment
Lake Austin Spa

“Their Nia Technique Certification Training Program is a superb program. I’ve never before learned so much in so short a time. The Rosas’ warmth and creativity make the Nia material easy to understand and assimilate. My week with the Rosas’ was one of the most productive weeks of my life. I feel that I absorbed information through my pores as well as through my mind. There are no better teachers in the business today.”

Dani Riposo, M.A.
Movement Director, Aerobics for Health Training
Former IDEA representative, Committee on Standards and Certification

“Nia movement opened my body, mind, and spirit and allowed me to create my heart’s desire.”

“Nia has danced me deeply into my essence, lighting and waking up sleeping layers of myself with a radiance which thrills me. This joyful illumination journey continues. How grateful I am to dear Debbie and Carlos.”
