Nia Dance - A practice of embodied awareness with Jess Shrimpton

  • Kāya Shala Yoga Sheffield Beach Road Umhlali, KZN, 4390 South Africa (map)

Nia is a holistic movement practice that blends dance, martial arts, and healing arts into a joyful, deeply embodied experience.

Rather than following strict choreography, Nia invites you to listen inward, to move from sensation, breath, emotion, and impulse. Each class becomes a moving meditation, supporting presence, creativity, and connection between body, mind, and spirit.

Through dynamic yet accessible movement, music, and guided awareness, participants are encouraged to explore how the body feels rather than how it looks. This cultivates greater self-awareness, nervous system regulation, and a sense of freedom within the body.

Nia supports strength, mobility, emotional expression, and energetic flow, while creating a safe, inclusive space for all bodies and levels of experience. Movements can be adapted to suit individual needs, allowing you to move at your own pace and honour your body’s wisdom.

Expect moments of play, grounding, flow, and stillness. A practice that mirrors life itself and invites you into deeper relationship with yourself.

No previous dance or movement experience required.
