52 Moves
The 52 Moves are the building blocks of any Nia workout.
The 52 Moves consist of detailed body skills to train the body to
become more aware, conscious, and efficient. Nia moves empower students
to move as a whole with precision and grace, regardless of the speed.
The moves are often activated in one body part (heels, ball of the
foot, joints, knees, elbows, fingers, hands, head, eyes, voice) yet are
experienced systemically. Every move can be experienced as a bold,
dynamic movement or as a more subtle, slower movement. Energetic
variation trains the body to become sensitive, enabling the body to
move with a higher degree of power and mastery.
