In today’s fast-paced world, we all need more joy, health, and play in our lives—fitness included! If you’re ready to trade the “no pain, no gain” mindset for a movement practice that nurtures your body, mind, and spirit, this workshop is your perfect step forward.

Join NIA instructor and holistic nutritionist Natasha Villeneuve for a transformative introduction to the Nia Technique. This holistic, barefoot movement practice blends dance arts, martial arts, and healing arts into a fun, uplifting experience.

  • How holistic movement cultivates strength, flexibility, and a joyful connection to your body.

The workshop concludes with a 45-minute Nia class, choreographed to soulful music and designed for all fitness levels to boost strength, mobility, and overall well-being.

What others say about NIA with Natasha:   

"I wanted to send a quick note to say how much I enjoyed your NIA class. I had never heard of it before, and was not really sure if I was going to attend. It was AMAZING ❤ You are really good at getting this whole healing vibe across, you made it cool and so not cheesy (sorry all respect to those other classes), the music was really engaging and well I think it was something I didn't know I needed, so thank you again very much." Vanessa F 
 
"I'm not sporty nor a dancer but knew at 55 that I wanted and needed to get moving. I wanted a fun way that I didn't dread. Along came Natasha and NIA! I left each class smiling, feeling more agile and completely accepted and encouraged to move in my own way... at my own speed and level." Carolyn M 
 
"This is the only movement/exercise form I've found since my accident that doesn't hurt!" Debra J 
 
"What a fun and unique class! There's something really inviting about your class. I've always held back when it comes to dance but today I felt totally unrestricted and so free! I loved every minute of it!" Natalie S
