“Bellyfit: Strong Women, Strong World.” I love it! I am sad to say that this fitness phenom is not available in the U.S. (girls, can you send it south?).
According to the website, “Bellyfit is the fusion fitness experience for women that blends the power and wisdom of ancient cultures, with the research, technology and trends of the modern world.”
During the first half hour of a Bellyfit class, instructors mix belly dance, Bollywood, Bhangra and African dance. The second half of class focuses on Pilates moves, yoga stretches and Mudra meditation. How awesome is that?
Bellyfit is based on the principle of diversity, and was created by a woman who left an abusive, difficult life and developed this unique and inspiring program. So jealous my Canadian friends can enjoy this, wish we had it in the states, too.
To learn more about this unique workout, click here. I may have to drive across the border to get an
up-close look at what this is all about. Anyone out there who has tried it, I’d love to hear more about it.
Sounds like a really fun, great idea.
Peace.
