You may have seen Bonnie, the character played by Zoe Kravitz in season one of the hit TV series Big Little Lies, teaching a Nia technique fitness class. Created in 1983 when aerobics teachers Debbie Rosas and Carlos Rosas had a series of injuries that led them to rethink their approach to exercise, this ‘fusion fitness’ is a blend of 52 moves drawn from dance (jazz, modern, Duncan dance), martial arts (Taekwondo, Aikido, tai chi) and healing practices (Feldenkrais Method, Alexander Technique and yoga).
Each hour-long routine is danced barefoot to an eclectic range of music.
