Core principles
Nia is based on several guiding principles:
- Non-impact, sustainable movement — supporting long-term physical health and injury prevention.
- The Body’s Way — honouring the body’s innate intelligence rather than imposing external ideals.
- Pleasure and sensation — using pleasurable sensation as feedback for healthy movement.
- Mind–body integration — linking awareness, feeling, and physical action.
- Choice — encouraging personal responsibility and adaptability.
