From School Library Journal

YA The authors have developed a ``new age'' movement in exercise that not only focuses on sight and sound but also on the body, mind, and spirit. Photographs and clear, concise instructions will guide novices to develop a personalized exercise routine. The book is chock full of photos, charts, and explanations of proper body alignment to avoid strain or injury to the muscles. These exercises can help to build successfully the cardiovascular system without causing a jarring impact on the body. A much-needed book for any physical fitness section.

This review is from: Non-Impact Aerobics: The Nia Technique (Paperback)

When I first heard of The Nia Technique, I knew in my gut that this was the right movement for me. I ordered this book in 1992 when I still lived in Atlanta and there were no Nia teachers there yet. I've continued to read and use it over the years, and each time I learn something new. Then I ordered the tapes, and I was hooked. This is powerful, grounded movement, done in bare feet, that makes you feel like a dancer and a black belt karate star at the same time! The people, Carlos and Debbie Rosas, are true movement visionaries. They walk their talk, and make the moves so simple to learn. While the learning is easy, it also takes a lifetime to incorporate all the dynamics like chi, sinking, rising, instrinsic, extrinsic. Taking a Nia class is a great way to augment your study of the book, too. The pictures are beautiful and the exercises are easy to understand. Highly recommended. This books needs to be republished! Thanks, Kali Rose.
