Debbie Rosas and Carlos Rosas Nia Book

"Debbie Rosas and Carlos Rosas provided a wonderful gift to the fitness industry with the creation of Nia in 1983. Long before anyone knew what "fusion" meant, they were combining yoga, martial-arts and dance to create a workout that is joyful, soulful, and meaningful. It is a unique form of exercise that has to be experienced to be appreciated."

—Kathie Davis, Executive Director,
IDEA Health & Fitness Association

"My day is joyful when it starts with Nia."

"My body surprises me with where it can go when I let go and let Nia fill my hour."

"Remember those dreams of flight when you were younger, I can visit those dreams again in Nia."

"At 52 years old, I had begun to feel invisible, Nia has brought back inner beauty to my life which reflects in the way I now see myself and I believe in the way others see me."
