“As an overweight woman with arthritis and fibromyalgia, and other challenges, I have found Nia classes to be perfect for my exercise needs. I am supported in doing all of the exercised by modifying them to my body’s needs. I love the warmth and support I always receive from every person at the studio. This has changed my life for the better - both physically and mentally. I am deeply grateful that this community exists.”
