When I began teaching Nia over 3 years ago, not many people had heard of it and didn't really know what to expect from a Nia Class.

I started a students comments book as a place for people to share their experiences. Now we have the on-line forum which you can use in the same way.

We always say that Nia is a sensation that can only be felt, so it is of great use to people new to Nia to read comments on what people thought of their first experience and how they felt afterwards. 

Here are just a few from my students comments book, enjoy! - Sam Hyde, Founder of Nia Cardiff

"My first Nia class left me feeling more relaxed than I have ever been!" TC

"I thoroughly enjoyed my Nia class, more invigorating than aerobics" AP

"Very enjoyable, I found some moves I didn't know I could do." KT

"Nia leaves me feeling flexible and relieves the tension brought on by a day in the office. It also brings a smile to my face. Thank you Sam." MC

"Thank you for helping me find myself at a really tough time."

"Very expansive movements - feelin' the energy! Inspiring music, moves and teacher! Muchos thanks!" RS

"Can't remember the last time I felt the freedom of being a child and being able to play!" TE

"I felt great -what an experience! Years of aerobics have taken their toll on my body. So great to come back to fitness but with a whole new feel. Highly recommended." MK

"Just what I have been waiting for. Spiritually awakening - Lively - What a Joy!" JF

"I feel that the classes are really relaxed and happy. I like that if you don't get a movement it doesn't matter and you can adapt it. Thanks." AL

"Thank You Sam, really lovely, freeing and relaxing and a workout - what more could I want?" EM

"This class really teaches you to listen to what your body wants, relieving it of the demands I always impose it on a daily basis. . . I really enjoyed it and cannot wait to see what else there is to learn!" ST

"I really enjoy Nia, I feel more loose, and my body is in shape and I am much more happy in my body. Always feel really refreshed, thank you for all." DM

"A great way to de-stress and forget the day. I'd recommend Nia to anyone age 8-80. Sam's enthusiasm is contageous - a great teacher and guide." SH
