Zumba

I am thrilled to be teaching the calorie torching, dance party that is Zumba. Need more cardio in your life but hate to run?   This is an excellent choice for improving cardio health; and you may likely find that its quick tempos, seductive rhythms, and fresh genres can send your joy quotient into the stratosphere.   Backyard Intro Zumba Classes  are incremental, introductory level,  classes.  Once the weather no longer permits us to be outdoor comfortably,  we continue via Zoom until the following spring.  All classes are listed here. 

The Nia Technique

Based on body-friendly movements, the Nia Technique is fun and accessible movement that is designed to improve your flexibility, agility, mobility, strength, and stability. It is joint-friendly and suitable for all life stages.
​
Nia Technique delivers a full-body aerobic workout that emphasizes fun, freedom and community.  The music is rich and varied, inspiring both fast-paced movement and mindfulness. This cardiovascular practice is accessible to men and women of all ages and levels of fitness. All classes are live virtual Zoom classes at this time. 

MoveIT

The MoveIT class format focusses on the art and science of whole body conditioning using Nia Technique's 52 Moves. 
Move IT is a revolutionary approach to whole body fitness integrating the best of exercise science, modern interval training and somatic movement through Nia's sensory-based approach to fitness. The 60-minute class promises to bring conditioning to every body part and muscle group.
​
Move IT classes are distinguished by somatic coaching with 60-second sequential intervals that isolate and integrate Nia movements. Each class delivers four types of conditioning: aerobic, anaerobic, reflexive, and voluntary.
