"NIA is Hot, Hot, Hot," Carol Issak Barden, Spafinder Magazine, September/October 2002 "What makes Nia work? I really don't know. But it has the power to move the soul. I don't plan to do a regular aerobics class ever again. I don't need a treadmill, and I don't miss those StairMasters. Nia lifts my spirits along with my rear end. When I do it, I feel joy, not boredom. Step class? Aerobic? R.I.P." |

"Mind and Body," Deborah Davis, Santa Fe New Mexican, October 29, 2001
"In a world obsessed with body image, Nia offers a way to express yourself without the pressure of measuring up to to others in the room." |

"Ditching Age-Old Problems in a New-Age Setting," Patricia Leigh Brown, New York Times, Jan. 5, 2003 "In contrast to exercise that is static and serious, Nia encourages improvisation and development of a personal interpretation. The difference between a Nia class and other forms of exercise was perhaps best demonstrated in a pre-New Year's Eve session in Santa Fe, N.M., in which the instructor, Holly Curtis, asked those in the class to "set their intentions" for the new year–like "calm in the midst of chaos"–and them dance them." |

"A Calmer Way To Stay Fit," Kate Murphy, Business Weekly, May 10, 1999 "The overriding Nia principle is pleasure. do what feels good and invigorating; avoid anything that hurts or is exhausting. Even without jumping around, the Nia Technique burns calories. Nia gets the pulse rate up, but it does so without risking the injuries common in aerobics and other high-impact forms of exercise." |
