At NEMA, we strive to help our students achieve their greatest potential in a disciplined yet friendly atmosphere. Our instructors are enthusiastic and encouraging. Our students are ingrained with the philosophy summarized in the Student Creed recited before each class:

• I intend to develop myself in a positive manner and avoid anything that would reduce my mental growth or my physical health.
• I intend to develop self-discipline in order to bring out the best in myself and others.
• I intend to use what I learn in class constructively and defensively, to help myself and my fellow man and never to be abusive or offensive.

Our objective is to help students develop wholeness of mind and body. At all ages, our program is designed to increase a student’s self esteem, self discipline, focus, leadership skills and ability to set goals. Physical benefits include greater flexibility, strength, increased energy and toning, improved balance and breathing, and greater mobility.
