Yoga - yeah...dance classes - nope. Is pretending to be laidback the most stressful thing, or what? : ) Great suggestion for kiddo-parent NIA from Pubsgal!

Great suggestion for kiddo-parent NIA from Pubsgal!

I kinda feel that way in Zumba class even though it's more structured - it's time to let go and have fun and be silly and giggle at yourself. I would try NIA for sure. I haven't been doing dance classes this month and it has made me realize how much I miss them! That sounds like awesome good fun.

I do like the whole concept though. Now, why didn't you go for the belly dance class? I think I would find it kind of odd – I need direction in a class, really. I do like the whole concept though.

Now, why didn’t you go for the belly dance class?

Funny, I've never thought of yoga as laidback...my yoga class is a hard workout, maybe because of my lack of balance... I bellydance too, and find that I'm too laidback to easily memorize all the moves in sequence. It actually takes discipline.

Now NIA classes are expensive in other facilities, and rare in the one I used to go to (three times a week!) I love NIA, and NIA made me more in love with exercise and my body (and it helped me kick my kids' butts in Dance Dance Revolution). If there's one thing I miss at my old gym, it's my NIA. You know, I've heard NIA as Neuromuscular Integrative Action, No Impact Aerobics, and as Nia, depending on who is instructing. What it is is an absolutely wonderful fusion of different movements. The instructor I liked most focused a lot on dance and martial arts... the one that teaches (occasionally) now focuses on using yoga and dance, and I've taken a class that is very heavily aerobics and less body awareness (which I didn't like nearly as much). Because it covers such a wide scope, NIA has many flavors depending on the instructor. I recommend to you the DVD NIA Unplugged, done by the originators of NIA. It's an amazing workout done to world drum music... which is amazing and inspirational in itself. I NIA’d (and blogged about it) for well over a year, until our instructor left for France.
