Anyone looking to improve their fitness and bring more joy to their life should visit Studio Nia. Every class there leaves me with more agility, balance, and freedom of movement – and also awakens both focus and fun. I feel so lucky that we have Studio Nia here in Santa Fe and appreciate all that the studio's community brings to my life!

I love Studio Nia. The low impact dancing, great music and wonderful teachers are just what I needed to help me heal from a personal tragedy. It feels good to move my body and spirit. The men and women in the classes are warm and friendly. All around a wonderful environment I’m happy to be a part of…..

Studio Nia is an incredible place that is a crown jewel in the mosaic that is Santa Fe. So much more than just an exercise class, it is a welcoming, friendly atmosphere that is truly a community where you can dance like no one is watching and enjoy a true Body-Mind-Spirit integration. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I was welcomed, accepted, encouraged and surrounded by love from the first moment I stepped in to my first class 5 years ago. Dancers of every imaginable ethnicity, background, gender, age and identity travel from around the world and via Zoom to experience the joy that is NIA Santa Fe.

A Transformative Experience at Studio Nia Santa Fe!

I’ve had the pleasure of attending classes at Studio Nia Santa Fe, and I can honestly say it’s been a life-changing experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed into a warm, vibrant community that’s focused on personal growth, healing, and pure joy.

The Nia classes, in particular, are nothing short of transformative. The instructors are incredibly skilled, bringing an infectious energy that makes every session feel like a celebration of movement. Whether you're a seasoned dancer or someone who's never taken a dance class before, Nia’s focus on body awareness, self-expression, and mindfulness offers something for everyone. The music alone is enough to lift your spirit, and the freedom to move in ways that feel good to *you* is empowering.

The studio itself is a sanctuary. With its bright, airy atmosphere, beautiful decor, and calming energy, it’s the perfect place to unwind, let go of stress, and reconnect with yourself. The environment promotes healing, not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually as well.

What truly sets Studio Nia Santa Fe apart is the sense of community. Owner Kelle Oien and studio instructors take the time to make each individual feel seen and supported, creating an inclusive space where people of all backgrounds, abilities, and experiences can come together to move and grow.

If you’re looking for a place that nurtures your body, mind, and spirit, Studio Nia Santa Fe is the place to be. I cannot recommend it enough—whether you’re new to Nia or a seasoned pro, you’ll leave each class feeling lighter, more centered, and deeply connected to yourself and the world around you.

Studio Nia is the best! Yes, yes, yes. I absolutely love the JOY of movement education and facilitation by Kelle Rae Oien, Kate Latimer and more at Studio Nia. My dedication to the practice, allowed me to study with teachers online throughout the pandemic to receive the Nia black belt and become a sensation scientist. It is such a powerful practice. You will love the wisdom and joy you feel dancing with this loving supportive community at Studio Nia Santa Fe! My gratitude is immense, thank you Kelle for providing a place for us all to play, learn and grow. Join us!

Kelle Rae Oien & her team of fellow AMAZING teachers offer unique NIA dance classes, along with a variety of other offerings. Classes are offered in-person, live via zoom, or on the Content Library via recording for 24 hrs. Despite being a long-distance zoom student from San Francisco, I’ve felt so welcomed and have loved dancing and learning with this fun community from Santa Fe — along with others from around the country & the world. The after-class chats have been a great way to connect with teachers and classmates and learn from each other's experiences in class. I’m so grateful to have these extraordinary, talented, teachers whose classes are truly for every “body.” In my first class last December (a free-Friday holiday party where they were all dressed up - and adorable!), I knew I was at the right place when we danced to holiday songs — and acted like reindeer and rolled around the floor pretending to be latkes frying in the pan! I wake up excited about what may happen in class! It’s always an experience! Every class feels unique and super-fun -- whether doing Classic NIA classes, Free Dance or Move-It classes (on Prince Day!.. Roy Orbison Day!.. or Willie Nelson, the Beatles or the 80’s!). I love to "step in” to this safe, open-minded, caring community in a shared experience grounded in the joy of movement & an "intention" the teacher sets for the class. I've added their BreatheFit CORE classes which have been such a great addition to my NIA & flow practices (& have learned through these breathing & core strengthening practices, that I'm stronger than my stressers!). I've also taken several interesting workshop offerings (Creativity & Curiosity, BreatheFit deep dives, & Soul Motion). I've never felt more welcomed into a community in my life. I'm now a lifelong Sensation Scientist! :) I've learned to bring my beginner's mind and let go & sink into the joy of movement along with a community I now love so much. Recently, I had the opportunity to go in person to Santa Fe and this beautiful studio to take the White Belt training with Kelle — not only did I learn (& feel) so much — it felt like being home.

At StudioNiaSantaFe I recharged my body and I nourished my soul. Not only did my body thrive, I felt my whole essence receiving what was needed. The community is so welcoming, the space is bright, informal and elegant at the same time. The Nia White Belt experience for me was a recognition of several essential skills that are necessary to embody in order to teach. Having Kelle Rae Oien's mastery available daily, no wonder why so much talented Nia teachers are there!

I love Studio Nia Santa Fe! As a Nia instructor living in Boulder, CO, I am so grateful I can attend their Nia classes via Zoom. Owner Kelle Rae Oien is a constant source of inspiration for me. The studio has been completely remodeled and it is GORGEOUS. I can’t wait to visit in person.

What a wonderful asset to Santa Fe! The range of classes is outstanding: there's something for everyone, and many classes are offered both in the studio and via Zoom. The atmosphere is welcoming and non-judgmental. There's a true sense of community, but best of all, Nia is just plain fun. The teachers are excellent, and the space itself is beautiful and uplifting. If you've had difficulty finding a form of exercise you can continue to enjoy over the years, check out what's available at Studio Nia Santa Fe. After more than a decade, I still enjoy and benefit from Nia.

EXTREMELY BEAUTIFUL SPACE! Wonderful teachers!!!!! Great Community of people who create the joy of sharing a total experience. NIA is a whole BODY, MIND, SPIRIT routine. You can enjoy it purely as a physical workout or you can go deeper with the trainers who encourage looking within to your spirit for emotive results.
I have been doing some form of movement all my life and I appreciate NIA for the completely encompassing program it is. Created by former aerobic instructors, Carlos and Debra Rosas, it works on so many levels. I LOVE IT!!!!

I can't believe there aren't a million reviews of Studio Nia Santa Fe on google. Studio Nia--a place where you can get exercise, gain flexibilty, learn how to center yourself, join a loving community, gain more spiritual fulfillment, spark your creative ideas, find a new direction in life, have fun and most of all, experience the JOY OF MOVEMENT!

I've been going to Nia classes for more than 10 years...Studio Nia rocks! Their teachers are the best in town...There are many daily classes including styles of movement like Nia, Journey Dance, 5 Rhythms, Soul Motion, Yoga, Pilates matt class, and many types of workshops.

Plus the beautiful day light studio just got a brand new floor and is available for rent by the hour.... Great sound system too. I LOVE THIS PLACE! Owners Mark Frossard and Kelle Rae Oien are compassionate, loving, talented and present. Check them out. And you can do 7 days for $7 for first time visitors who are residents New Mexico...
