NIA Dance classes

Nia Dance blends an invigorating cardio workout with global dance forms, martial arts, yoga, creative movement and powerful imagery. Experience the expressiveness of dance, the power and explosiveness of the martial arts, and the wisdom of healing forms of bodywork. Nia is user-friendly “movement medicine” for body and soul.

If you've given up the quest for perfect inner thighs in favor of inner peace; if you strive for oneness instead of thinness; if you want a class focused more on your heart than your heart rate; if a more nurturing, less punishing workout sounds appealing; then Nia is for you! Nia is the ultimate "East meets West" method to tone body, mind and spirit. Nia's barefoot, grounded approach maximizes body efficiency and teaches us to consciously move in a gentler way. The result is a fusion of movement styles that is freer than other cardiovascular exercises. Modern and jazz dance movements are mixed with heart-pumping kicks and blocks as well as subtle therapeutic suggestions and visualization techniques to help develop awareness and heightened sensation.

Out goes the credo "no pain, no gain," and in comes the pleasure principle, "If it feels good, do it!" Nia can be done by anyone and is easily adapted to personal needs. It challenges and fulfills the old and young, fit and not-so-fit, dancer and non-dancer alike. You have to experience it to understand why Nia devotees are so passionate about this fast-growing fitness method.

Testimonials

  • I've tried many many types of exercise since I became a national athlete. After I began training with Ory, Pilates became a significant part of my exercise routine. Her own deep understanding of how the body works has taught me how to move properly again and to rebuild my own strength. I get injured less frequently than before. Ory's class is more than an ordinary Pilates class, It's an inspiration!| Sutiya Jiewchaloemmit | Olympian Skeet Shooter.
  • What I love about Pilates is the gentle approach to the exercise programme whilst nevertheless working all your muscles in depth and very efficiently. You can really feel your whole body working and strengthening by the minute.| Ingrid Seidel |
  • Pilates is addictive!! As a very unfit and exhausted mother of two small children finding time for exercise had been very difficult. When I started Pilates classes I quickly learnt to really enjoy the physical and mental benefits of this amazing program. Pilates challenges my body to become stronger and more flexible and my mind to become more focused and positive.| Danika Rehfisch |
  • After hearing the story of Pilates from friends in North America, I searched Bangkok for a Pilates instructor for several months. I couldn't have found a better, more focused teacher than Or-Yah. Starting from nothing, she taught me the basics and gave me the confidence I needed to continue on. I noticed improvements in my strength, flexibility and posture after only a few classes. Or-Yah is a great instructor and amazing mentor for anyone interested in improving their physical fitness. Bangkok is very fortunate to have someone so dedicated to teaching the Pilates method.| Scott Miller |
  • After delivering my second baby I was anxious to quickly get back into shape. I had not exercised throughout my pregnancy due to complications. So when my son was two months old I found Or-Yah and began post-natal yoga sessions. When I felt strong enough we progressed to Pilates. Before pregnancy I had taken other forms of Pilates. I was familiar with some of the poses, but felt challenged by pure Pilates. I quickly learned Or-Yah was an expert at pure Pilates. Not only was she an extremely qualified instructor she was more importantly very supportive. With the eyes of a hawk she watches to ensure your body is in the proper alignment for each pose. There is no chance to be idle; she makes good use of your time. She is always ready to demonstrate each pose and provide detailed explanations. The change in my body was immediate; the focus of her teachings is strengthening your core. Your back and abdominal muscles after pregnancy are taxed and she really helps to work this area. Everyone I know wants to know my secret to getting back in shape. No fad diets or treatments, no surprises just Or-Yah. Constantly motivating she gave me an inner sense to continue attuning my body with my life. I feel more focused and strengthened for the physical and mental rigors of motherhood. Or-Yah really makes an impact on her students by connecting with them.| Kim Buhrman |
  • Or-yah is a very dedicated instructor who takes her job very seriously. I have had many experiences with private instructors and I can easily say that she has proven herself to be the best. Since injuring my leg I am doing Pilates lessons with Or-yah and the improvement has been tremendous. Or-yah is always encouraging, and alert to anything that is not performed properly. When certain exercises cannot be preformed due to an injury or other factors she immediately finds an alternative. Working with the Pilates equipment has been am amazing experience for me. I have been taking Pilates and Yoga classes with Or-yah for over 2 years, she has guided me through a pregnancy and now through my injury. It is always a pleasure to come to Or-yah for instruction and am always left with a feeling of satisfaction.| Eilat Shoshani |
  • Pilates is the only exercise program that I have ever done which I actually look forward to and miss when I can't make it to a session - in fact the only problem with Pilates is that it is totally addictive. After three months of fairly regular Pilates sessions, I feel stronger and more flexible, exercises that seemed impossible when I started are suddenly do-able: although Or-Yah never lets us get complacent as there is always a way to make an exercise just that little bit more challenging. As teacher, Or-Yah manages to combine the discipline of a drill sergeant with a sensitive awareness of what the student can manage. You don't get away with much but you thank her for it afterwards.| Sharon Thwaites |
  • "After studying Pilates, my back id much stronger, I have become more flexible and my posture has improved. I really enjoy learning Pilates with Or-yah who is very experienced and knowledgeable and makes you see that nothing is impossible (except trying to do Pilates laughing!). | Lucienne Hughes |
  • I admired your passion and expertise in Pilates and for all the knowledge and teaching skills that you have been able to share with us. I am amazed how different by body feels and how my practice has improved and how I can do exercises so much better than before. The knowledge about all the muscles and course work was very interesting and I know so much more about my own body now. You are truly a great teacher. Thank you so much. (April 2009) | Barbara Manning | USA.
  • I am glad that I have come to Pilatestudio as I feel it is the best place to study Pilates. Or-Yah has a rare quality as a teacher. She is not only has a solid knowledge of the course material, her willingness to share information and valuable experiences made the course easier to understand. Teachers in the studio are also very helpful. I benefited a lot from their guidance (April 2009) | Angelina Gozali | Italy.
  • I feel blessed and honored to know you Or-Yah. I think you are wonderful and I so enjoyed my training with you, you are an excellent teacher with great focus and charisma. I am inspired now to read all my notes follow all my drawings and practice Pilates, I wove some fundamentals into my yoga class this morning! (April 2009) | Annie Milstead | Singapor.
  • Or-Yah's instruction is extremely clear, concise and straight to the point. She is well focused as a teacher and keeps the class moving at a steady pace when teaching. She is a wonderful teacher and a beautiful, kind and caring person. And a bit entertaining as well, which always helps! I had a lot of fun doing training with her and will absolutely train more with her when I get the chance. I would recommend her to anyone looking to train in Pilates because she obviously knows her stuff !.... (April 2009) | Suzanne Vian | Australia.
  • Very worth taking the course, even I had to take my days off from my full-time job. Or-Yah is very professional. Friends are nice. My Pilates skill is real improved. The more I know about the Pilates basis and anatomy, the more I can apply my knowledge to many useful exercises. I am inspired to teach, to strengthen and to heal others, at least via my Pilates skills. Thanks Or-yah and my friends. (October 2008) | Tum |Thailand.
  • I'm grateful for the extra energy you have given me to the initiation 101 and standing Pilates 201 course. I appreciate your excellent explanations. You were helping to clarity all exercises, I feel comfortable to ask when I don't understand. You are always open and give us a chance to discuss during the class. I'm so happy I have attended this course, it gave me a lot, mainly the ability and desire to learn more about Pilates, Thank you again for wonderful course. (February 2007) | Natt | Thailand.
  • I believe that The Pilatestudio is the best in Bangkok. It has everything you need in one place: the best equipment, great location, Instructors with a high level of education (including Or-Yah who has years of experience in the field) and one very important thing, the minute you walk in all you have to concentrate is in practicing Pilates the rest is taken care but the professional people who work there (from the receptionist to the Instructors). I first went to the studio as a client after trying different studios in the city. I learn there in a few weeks, things I haven't learn in a year of practice at other places. Because of that I decided to take the Instructor Course and it was one of my best decisions in life. Or-Yah is a great mentor willing to share all her knowledge and who gives 100% to her students. I only wish I was still in Bangkok to be able to go the Or-yah�s studio. (November 2007) | Uleima Hanson | Mexico.
  • I began seriously practicing Pilates after a second spine surgery. I had lost muscle strength in the right ankle and calf and was very stiff in the back, hips and hamstrings. I was also very fearful of moving any part of my spine and concerned that I would never again regain my former physical strength. Simply put I was miserable. After several months of taking private classes three times a week, the benefits were undeniable. My body was finally beginning to respond and I became stronger and suppler. Psychologically, the fear subsided but I still lacked confidence. Nevertheless, I knew Pilates was the right fit for me. I just wanted to acquire more knowledge about anatomy, the Pilates Method as well as challenge myself. That�s when I decided to enroll in the certification course at the Pilates Studio. I must say at first I did so only for myself. I didn�t really have any intention of becoming a teacher. But as the course went on and as deepened my understanding of the method (for example how to modify exercises for special populations or working with props) I realized that Pilates was a discipline that I must share with others. (February 2007) | Kristin and Julia | Estonia.
