Kate's Nia class is amazing!  I expected a great workout.  What I didn't expect was just how energized these classes make me feel.   When I heard about the class, I thought it was a great idea to integrate diverse disciplines including dance, martial arts and yoga to create an exercise program that is as nourishing to my soul as my body.  Now that I have been attending the classes, I feel the program is even better than I expected.  I also find that classes with Kate are a hoot!  She brings the same passion and energy with which she leads her life to the classes and it makes them wacky and wonderful.  She shares her goofy sense of humor with the class and has such fun herself.  It keeps me in the moment and very glad I've discovered Kate's Nia!   ~ Tony Lea  Raleigh, NC

Nia felt to me a bit like dancing in my living room with a group of friends--except this was a room full of people I had never previously met!  It was low-pressure and high fun, even sometimes silly, with a dash of imagination thrown in for good measure.  I would recommend Nia most highly for people who feel a bit of internal dance bubbling beneath the surface but haven't yet found out how to express it, who might be a bit shy to get out on a dance floor and get their groove on without some direction.  With this Nia class there was both choreography, somewhat like an aerobics class, but with space for freedom as well.  Nia seems like it would be appropriate for any skill level, from beginner to professional dancer, and any fitness level, from couch potato to Iron Man triathlete.  ~ Amy Stapleford  Chapel Hill, NC
