Carlos Rosas is a pioneer and a leader in the Fitness and Wellness industry. In 1983, he and Debbie Rosas created the Nia Technique, an internationally acclaimed body-mind-spirit movement and lifestyle program. Nia is a transformational exercise that provides a conscious and functional way for people to guide their lives through “The Science of the Body”. A fusion of martial arts, dance arts, and healing arts, Nia maximizes the effectiveness of any body-centered activity, reducing injury and creating long lasting results.

A seasoned speaker and presenter, Carlos has been a facilitator for over 25 years at countless health and fitness conventions. Currently a presenter and sponsor of Inner IDEA, other top conferences Carlos has presented at include The National Wellness Conference, Sound Healers Conference, and the Science of Consciousness Conference.

Carlos is deeply involved in many local and global communities. In 2005, Nia Instructors raised over $30,000 for Hurricane Katrina Victims and $15,000 for Soaringwords through organized Nia Dance Jams throughout the world.

Carlos and Nia are well loved by the press, and have been featured in more than 700 publications and numerous television shows.
