Yoga/Belly Dance Boot-camp


Yoga/Belly Dance Boot-camp is a very vigorous amalgam of Yoga, Belly Dance, and Pilates... where the emphasis is on building core strength and endurance. It is great conditioning for yoga, dance or any other sports activity for that matter. No dance or yoga experience is needed however, as modifications are always given. You will learn some traditional Belly Dance moves. We will have a nice warm-up/cool down and shvanasana (relaxation) at the end. This workshop is open to everyone but keep in mind it's a workout!  Prepare to sweat and have fun as modern Middle Eastern music is played in class.
