What is The Nia Technique?
The NIA technique, which formerly stood for neuromuscular integrative technique and now is better known as non-impact aerobics, is an exercise program developed in 1983, in Santa Rosa, California by Carlos and Debbie Rosas. In the early 1980s, as aerobics dance classes started to become popular, some people found the practice potentially too difficult to do. Pounding music and instructors inciting people to work hard could feel jarring to some, and injury was not uncommon especially with high impact work.
