This unique course will use physical movement
and academic learning to engage your body and mind.
The Nia Technique blends dance, martial arts, and healing arts
such as yoga with music, simple choreography, and guided free
dance to explore Your Body's Way.
Psychology topics will include cognitive behavior principles, nonverbal
communication, group dynamics, neuroscience of movement, and healthy
body image. Students will apply Psychology to their movement experience.
We will discuss what research evidence exists or is needed to incorporate
movement into Psychology professional practice and clinical interventions.
