Nia 5 Stages is a physical practice based on five stages of human development: Embryonic, Creeping, Crawling, Standing and Walking. Consciously moving through these stages as an adult re-integrates the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual elements in such a way that after just five minutes of practice, participants notice improvements in power, range of motion and ease in areas of their bodies other forms of exercise do not affect. This process of realignment allows the body to do what it is designed to do: explore its potential, self-heal and grow.

Nia 5 Stages practice results in:

  • Increased energy and vitality
  • Improved posture and grace
  • Increased Sensory IQ and overall body awareness
  • A deep sense of relaxation
  • Physical and energetic alignment

Nia 5 Stages practice is excellent for:

  • Reclaiming optimal alignment and functioning
  • Releasing tension and blocked energy
  • Regaining flexibility, agility, mobility, strength and stability
  • Reclaiming and maintaining joint mobility and muscle balance
