Absolutely. Our classes are designed for every body and every level, and complete beginners are always welcome. There are no steps to get ‘right’ — just move in the way that feels good to you. New students can also try a class for free.

Yes, we recommend booking online through our timetable so we can save your place.

If you are unsure, please contact the class facilitator to check the skill level of the class. In Nia, every movement can be adjusted to suit all body types and all levels of movement capability. Come exactly as you are.

There is a no outdoor shoes policy and we kindly request that you wear grippy socks or indoor shoes that you change into on arrival if you are uncomfortable being barefoot.

You must notify your teacher of any health issue which may affect your ability to participate in class. On booking for the first time you will be asked to sign a health and wellness waiver. If your circumstances have changed since signing one, please let your teacher know ahead of your next class.

Wear comfortable clothing you can move freely in. We practise barefoot (grippy socks are fine if you prefer), so there’s no need for shoes. Just bring a bottle of water; mats and any equipment you need are provided.

Moving to Heal is a gentler, therapeutic form of Nia — ideal if you’re managing injury, illness or limited mobility, or simply prefer a slower pace.

Yes — our two spaces, The Haven and The Groove, are available to hire for classes, workshops, therapies and events. Visit our Studio Hire page to make an enquiry.

Unfortunately, the studio can only be accessed via external stairs. As tenants in an old building we have little control over access infrastructure. If you need more information, please contact us or your teacher before booking.

We’re at 49A Cregagh Road, Belfast, BT6 8PX. Free street parking is available on the surrounding streets.
