Come and enjoy this fun and inspired afternoon of bellydance and yoga! We gather to celebrate and honor all bodies, the sacred rhythm of the universe, and the Goddess Shakti; who delights us with her dance of concealment and revelation. We will dance in a circle and begin with yoga and breathing to warm up the body and to align with the pulsation of the breath. Then, we seamlessly flow into the basic moves from bellydance including; hip and ribcage isolations, shimmies, undulations, and snake arms.  Marni will then introduce you to the graceful and fluid dance of the veil. You will learn how to dance with the veil and how to playfully express the dance of “concealment and revelation”.

Some possible benefits of bellydancing include:

• empowered body image
• increased flexibility and strength
• improved body awareness
• weight loss
• creative self-expression

No previous dance experience necessary. Marni will provide veils for everyone, but if you have one of your own, please bring it. You may also wish to bring a scarf to tie around your hips.

See Marni in a Yoga Journal video which features her as the August 2010 Cover Model for the magazine. Click here to view some behind-the-scenes action.
