History
In 1983, at the height of the no-pain no-gain
fitness mentality, Carlos Rosas and Debbie Rosas,
both successful fitness instructors, began to
question the traditional models for exercise and
began to craft a more holistic way of being healthy
in one’s body. They incorporated mindfulness,
The Joy
of Movement, comfort, passion, and pleasure into
their lives and their workout as the new way to feel
and create both fitness and well-being. They
discovered that getting fit and healthy through
pleasure is the way to heal, and is the key to
health.
From their discoveries a new lifestyle and
fitness practice was born—Nia—which offers a new
perspective on how to get fit and be healthy while
embracing individual creativity and
self-empowerment.
Nia’s ground-breaking work is now recognized as
one of the most innovative and safe cardiovascular
programs to date. Nia is a pioneer in the health and
fitness world, and offers the very best in body-mind
training, programs, and on-going education.
