Belly Dance has long been a birth dance.  For thousands of years this dance has been a favorite of women because of its joyous, celebratory, non-judgmental nature.  This workshop will guide you through gentle, healthy, non-strenuous movements which will help with the changing condition of your body, your view of the labor process and your overall awareness essential for birthing.  This workshop is designed to serve as a bridge between the ancient art of belly dance and birth.  Open to all levels of fitness and stages of pregnancy. 

This workshop can also be tailored for presentation to birth professionals such as doulas, midwives and childbirth educators.

In the Belly of the Goddess™ Workshop topics include:

•  Overview of the basic movements of belly dance.

•   Belly dance movements to be used throughout pregnancy as part of a prenatal fitness program.

•   Using belly dance movements to help relieve common discomforts of pregnancy.

•   Specific belly dance movements to be used during the various stages of labor.

•   Discussion of the historical and contemporary evidence for using belly dance during pregnancy and birth.

•   Using belly dance for fun, self-expression and as a celebration of this most creative time in a woman's life!

We would love to bring this workshop to you.  If you have a group and a place (no mirrors necessary) we’ll travel to you.
