We all know movement and exercise are good for us, but we may put it off if it is not fun. Why not start this new year with a gift of improved health with fun and beneficial Bellydance? This winter Surayyah invites everyone to strengthen their mind, body and spirit with a Bellydance series beginning in January. 

The list of health benefits is almost endless. Bellydance is a great overall workout for women of all ages, shapes and sizes.  It is low impact yet raises your heart rate and strengthens muscles and bones helping to gain strength and flexibility evenly in your rib cage, upper and lower back, abdomen and hips. The routines help improve posture, reduces stress, can aid in digestion, stimulate lymphatic function and engage your brain.  Also, is the added benefit of improved self-esteem, confidence, body awareness and the sisterhood created in learning this dance with others.
