Nia from Italy (in English). Live Online with Lorna Moglia

Join Lorna as she zooms Nia from Italy to students around the world! Bring your passion, your unique, beautiful spirit to this virtual global class. Enjoy a sprinkling of Italian trivia, language and spirit along with a wonderful exercise session!

 Barefoot Cardio Nia blends the grace and spontaneity of dance arts (modern, jazz, Duncan), the power and control of martial arts (Tai Chi, Tae Kwon Do and Aikido), and the calm and focus of healing arts (yoga, Alexander Technique, The Work of Moshe Feldenkrais).  Each 60-minute, barefoot cardio Nia routine is masterfully crafted to inspiring music – a holistic fusion of whole-body, expressive, grounded movement for body-mind wellness and fitness. This class is perfect for all fitness levels, as each person is encouraged to move in their own safe range of motion and intensity, where it feels good. 

A few benefits of Nia:

• Increases flexibility, stability, mobility, agility and strength
• Improves endurance, concentration and cognitive functions
• Enhances sensory awareness
• Calms the mind and relieves stress and tension
• Allows you to sweat without pounding your knees, hips or ankles.
