| History - In 1983, at the height of the no-pain no-gain fitness mentality, Carlos Rosas and Debbie Rosas, both successful fitness instructors, began to question the traditional models for exercise and began to craft a more holistic way of being healthy in one’s body. They incorporated mindfulness, The Joy of Movement, comfort, passion, and pleasure into their lives and their workout as the new way to feel and create both fitness and well-being. They discovered that getting fit and healthy through pleasure is the way to heal, and is the key to health.From their discoveries a new lifestyle and fitness practice was born—Nia—which offers a new perspective on how to get fit and be healthy while embracing individual creativity and self-empowerment.Nia’s ground-breaking work is now recognized as one of the most innovative and safe cardiovascular programs to date. Nia is a pioneer in the health and fitness world, and offers the very best in body-mind training, programs, and on-going education. |
