In ancient cultures, ritual dances supported women passing from childhood into womanhood through the discovery of their own sexuality, and then into motherhood through pregnancy and birth. These original dances, which included elements of belly dance as we know it today, allowed women to appreciate the beauty of their own bodies and to find joy and pleasure in movement, while strengthening their bodies and self-confidence for the creation of a new life

Jade will join us to share her wisdom and knowledge with  how belly dance supports women during pregnancy and birth. She will offer some basic belly dance movements that can be easily integrated in a yoga class and will guide us through some improvisational dancing to support freeing the intuitive body. Finally we will all dance some easy steps in circle, feeling supported by each other and experiencing joy in movement and rhythm -  just as it was done in ancient cultures.

Jade will also teach some of the prenatal yoga classes during the training.
