Tamara

Tamara teaches Nia. Nia (nee-ah) is a pleasure based blend of dance and martial arts. It is a fun and unique barefoot practice where we move to exceptional music. Each session begins by gently warming the body from within, then builds to a cardio work-out and completes with cooling stretches. Nia is pleasure based food for your body, mind and soul. It has the power to shift your mood and relationship with your body regardless of shape, size or fitness level.
