Welcome

Sound Mind & Body, LLC
Health, wellness and movement for the joy of it!

Nancy Hammett, Director & Owner

Welcome to Sound Mind & Body, Milford's most diverse holistic fitness studio.  Our programs include a wide selection of classes in Yoga, Cardio and Strength Training, Stability Ball, Pilates, Belly Dancing, Pre-natal and Post-partum exercise, Children's Ballroom, and *Nia, the high-energy, low-impact workout for body, mind and spirit...for all ages, all fitness levels (see description below).

We also offer personal training for individuals and groups, as well as special workshops and events in various other disciplines and movement forms on an on-going basis.

We welcome all ages and levels of physical fitness, with an emphasis on working within one's own range of physical comfort and pleasure. We wish to make our movement classes desirable and accessible to senior, disabled and otherwise inactive people who want to enjoy the benefits of a healthy, supple, flexible body. We also endeavor to provide alternative ways of moving to students with high levels of physical fitness, as well as athletes wishing to improve their performance in their own sport.

Our programs are varied, but the goal is the same: to nurture and restore bodies, soothe minds and inspire spirits of those ready to awaken to a greater level of health and well-being through movement. In an open community of kindred spirits who come together regularly to dance, sweat, learn, play and meditate, we are continuously amazed by ourselves and each other.

* What is Nia??

Through Movement We Find Health

Done barefoot to diverse and inspiring  music, Nia is a transformational movement practice that teaches you to be more JOYFUL, EXPRESSIVE, and ALIVE in your body, both inside and outside of the studio.  Nia is holistic, engaging your body, mind, emotions and spirit.  Nia draws from dance arts, martial arts, and healing arts to create purposeful movement that will help you grow and learn.

Why Practice Nia?

Nia increases the pleasure of living in your body; Nia creates weight loss and proper weight maintenance; Nia strengthens muscles, improves muscle tone, and increases muscle definition; Nia calms the mind and relieves stress; Nia increases grace, flexibility and endurance; Nia builds reservoirs of chi and improves cognitive functioning.  And so much more!

Who Practices Nia?

Nia is practiced by people of all walks of life, ages, and fitness levels.

Personal Training for Individuals and Groups, by appointment.   (consult schedule for available times)

Choose a time that works for you.  If you cannot make it to class because of your schedule, or you need special attention due to an injury or other circumstance, private sessions can help you on your road to health.  Great for corporate groups, groups of friends, or family members who enjoy quality time together.  Private parties, too!
