Nia

nia class

Nia is a sensory-based movement practice that draws from martial arts, dance arts and healing arts. It empowers people of all shapes and sizes by connecting the body, mind, emotions and spirit. Classes are taken barefoot to soul-stirring music in more than 45 countries.

Nia draws from Tai Chi, Tae Kwon Do, Aikido, jazz dance, modern dance, Duncan dance, yoga, Alexander Technique and Teachings of Moshe Feldenkrais. Every class offers a unique combination of 52 moves that correspond with the main areas of the body: the base, the core and the upper extremities

Through a fusion of martial arts, dance arts, and healing arts, Nia brings the body, mind, emotions, and spirit to optimal health through music, movement, and self expression.  Nia connects us to the wisdom of the body through the sensations of comfort, pleasure, and ease.  Each class is a blend of fun choreography, freedance, Floorplay, and your own personal movement creativity.  Non-intimidating, effective, kind to bones and joints, dynamic movement, sweaty fun!

Taught by Annie on Tuesdays & Thursdays from 10:00 - 11:00am

Sword Yoga 2

Coming Summer of 2026

Sword Yoga 1

Yes, yoga with Kung Fu swords. Emily is a certified Yoga instructor that has gone through sword training with Shifu Aaron to learn the foundations of Tai Chi, Praying Mantis, and Baguazhang straight sword (jian). No experience is required for this level 1 class, but be ready to work hard and learn. This is a very empowering class for anyone who enjoys Yoga. Students will learn real sword techniques with real swords in the context of a yoga practice. Swords will be provided so you don’t have to have your own sword, however they will be available for purchase if you would like to have your own sword. Only approved swords will be allowed in class and we will not be using any live blades (none of them have been sharpened). Safety is of utmost importance when working with swords so class size is limited to 10 students. Because this is a high demand class, we are requiring that you preregister on our schedule page.

Taught by Emily on Saturday mornings from 10:15 - 11:15

Sword Yoga Teacher Certification

We will start to offer Sword Yoga teacher certification in the fall of 2026. Requirements will be that participants have already completed 200 Hour Yoga Certification. This is an add on certification that allows you to teach our program. There is a noncompete clause that you will not teach Sword Yoga within a 30 minutes or 30 miles from Dragon Phoenix.
