Event Details

Belly Dance has a reputation for being a sensual, seductive art form... but did you know it has its roots in childbirth preparation and labor support? Join BodyLoveBellyDance instructor Maya Taahira for an hour-long workshop on the benefits of belly dancing during pregnancy. This class includes:


* Movements to alleviate minor aches and pains during the second and third trimesters
* Movements to strengthen and tone the uterus and pelvic floor
* Movements to help rotate a baby in a less-than-optimal birthing position (breech, asynclitic, etc.) both during pregnancy and during the birth process
* Movements to help speed up a slow-to-progress labor
* Movements to avoid while pregnant (demonstrated by the instructor)

A doctor's written consent is required for participation in this event.

Instructor's Note:  The material presented is designed to help facilitate the labor and birth process for pregnant women seeking a natural childbirth experience AS WELL AS their care providers (midwives, doulas, OBs, educators, etc.) You do NOT have to currently be pregnant in order to benefit from the movements taught in this workshop.

*All payments are final.
