Discovering Nia: A Free Introductory Workshop with Holly Nastasi
Discovering Nia is your invitation to experience movement in a whole new way — joyful, expressive, and deeply restorative.
Join us Monday, September 1 from 12:00–1:30 PM for this free introductory workshop at The Dance Barre, where you’ll be gently guided through the fundamentals of the Nia Technique® — a unique blend of dance, martial arts, and healing arts designed to uplift your body, calm your mind, and awaken your spirit.
During this one-hour class, Nia Trainer Holly Nastasi will gently introduce you to:
The 7 Cycles of a Nia class, from setting your focus to stepping out empowered
52 simple moves that anyone can follow — no experience necessary
A soundtrack of music that inspires your body to move your way
A welcoming, body-positive space where joy, not judgment, leads the way
Whether you're a fitness veteran or exploring movement for the first time, Nia meets you where you are and helps you discover a new relationship with your body.
Come experience why Nia is called the “Art of Sensation.”
Meet Holly Nastasi
From her first Jane Fonda-style aerobics class in 1982 to becoming a leading voice in the Nia® community, Holly Nastasi brings over four decades of movement expertise and wellness leadership.
With a B.S. in Kinesiology and a Master’s in Health Education from UT Austin, Holly’s background spans anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, and holistic wellness. But everything changed in 1993 when she attended a transformative session titled “The Motion in Emotion.” That single moment sparked a lifelong journey with Nia.
Holly has taught thousands of Nia classes, opened studios across multiple states, and now brings her energy and passion to The Dance Barre as one of its newest instructors.
