FAQ's
Why is Nia barefoot?
7000 nerve endings in each foot provide information about the surface we are moving on, so moving barefoot helps raise awareness of exactly how we are moving from the ground up.
​
What should I wear?
Wear anything that feels comfortable and allows you to move freely, your yoga or sportswear is ideal.
​
I'm unsure about barefoot?
Maybe choose yoga style grippy socks, find the best way for you to be comfortable, you can dance in pumps with flat soles. If you do wish to wear shoes, please slip out of your outdoor shoes and into indoor shoes.
​
I have an injury or a restriction?
All movement can be adapted to suit your body, we explore choices, moving smaller, slower. By listening to your body and moving with conscious awareness to find what feels good, in this way your body effortlessly guides your choices.

I take 2 of Carols Nia classes a week because they hit the spot for me more than any other movement class that I've tried, and over the years I've taken many! They are soulful, fun and freeing and make my body feel more alive and resilient. Carol has a calm, clear and thoughtful presence making everyone feel welcome and at ease. Her love of Nia is contagious! SW

I have been going to Carol’s Nia class for 9 months and have thoroughly enjoyed every class. I switch off from the outside world for an hour of inspirational, mindfulness and movement with a clear guidance, while listening to a lovely choice of music. SW

Carol provides a safe space for us all to explore and expand our bodies and emotions by focusing on the wonderful music and movement that Nia offers. This then becomes a real opportunity for self expression. She encourages us all to share our thoughts and feelings at the end of each session which fosters a real sense of community and a wonderful supportive atmosphere. MM
