Looking for a different way to workout? Not too long ago, I stumbled upon a story on NIA, which stands for Neuromuscular Integrative Action.
According to the Web site, NIA " is a personal growth, body-mind-spirit fitness program. It is a 'living system' that works with the natural wisdom and intelligence of the body, mind, spirit, and emotions. Nia supports the Pleasure Principle: If it feels good keep doing it, if it hurts, stop! The blueprint of Nia is practical, experiential, and focuses on internal guidance to change and develop awareness."
The practice was founded in the early 1980s by Debbie and Carlos Rosas, fitness professionals in the San Francisco Bay Area who were searching for a less-painful way to workout and stay fit.
It is based on 52 basic moves, drawing from t Tai Chi, Tae Kwon Do, Aikido, Duncan Dance, Jazz, The Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais and Yoga.
