General description

This DVD is a very good resource for any woman who would like to use belly dance as a form of exercise during pregnancy, under the guidance of an expert (Maha has been running belly dance for birth classes in Australia for over a decade and has practiced bellydance during her own three pregnancies). Also, the routines in this DVD are aimed at helping you relax and gain confidence in your body. The fact that Maha’s tone of voice is very soothing and relaxing is also of great help. The 2 DVDs in the box set are very inspiring and help women being less scared of the whole delivery experience.

Any level, including beginners.
