For thousands of years
belly dance has been a favorite of women for pregnancy & birth not only because
of its health benefits but also because of its joyous, celebratory,
non-judgmental nature. Belly dance is a gentle, low impact exercise that is
perfect during pregnancy. Belly dance, like other body, mind and spirit
activities, promotes self-esteem and body awareness, empowering a woman to be an
active participant in conceiving, growing and giving birth to her child.
