On a scale of 1 to 10, how in love with your body do you feel right now?
And 10 being… if I could, I’d wear a bikini all day, everywhere…
If you’re like many of us women, there’s a BIG difference between now and then.
Or, you’re seeing your body go through changes as you reach menopause or pre-menopause.
Your first, empowering step starts with being honest with yourself and asking if any of the following is holding you back from feeling confident and in love with your body…
You shudder at the idea of working out in a crowded gym or class where you feel like everyone is watching you awkwardly contort yourself into uncomfortable positions.
You’ve been told to do Kegel exercises by doctors, physios and just about everyone else you talk to, but not only are they boring, you have no idea if you’re even doing them right!
You’re dealing with embarrassing “leaking” that leaves you afraid to cough, laugh or sneeze even just trying to be active, spontaneous and enjoy daily life is impossible because you’re always looking for the nearest bathroom.
You’ve lost count of how many different workouts you’ve tried, from DVDs, to the latest exercise devices but they all feel like a chore and bore you to death (even when they seem to be working).
You’re realistically facing a future of wearing embarrassing pee pads that will play on your mind every minute of the day. Or worse, having to resort to risky, expensive surgery.
You’re a little “softer” around the midsection after having kids than you used to be, through no real fault of your own.
My Belly Dance Students Eliminate Leaking...
It was just an ordinary Sunday afternoon when I taught my belly dance class at the local gym...
Class had just finished and everyone was gathering their things and heading out of the room.
One of my regular students came up to me and said with a huge smile on her face, "I have something to tell you".
Clearly I could tell she was excited, and now I was excited too to hear what she had to say...
I’ll never forget what she said next…
I've been a professional belly dance instructor and performer for 14 years.
Ever since the first shake of my belly, I knew how incredible belly dancing made me feel.
But it took my inspiring students to help me fully realize the power of this beautiful art form to heal the body, mind and spirit.
One by one, many of my students over the years used to pull me aside and tell me things like…
I get goose bumps just thinking about the stories I’ve heard!
Now, being a qualified acupuncturist and personal trainer as well as a professional belly dancer, I knew these results weren’t a fluke. They were far too consistent and common for that.
And this got me thinking…
The thought of leaking wouldn't constantly be in the back of your mind.
You would feel free to do what you want, when you want- without worry or stress.
You would be back in control of your body and regain your confidence and self-esteem.
NEVER AGAIN WOULD YOU BE FORCED INTO HIDING, FEELING ASHAMED OR EMBARRASSED.
YOU WOULD FINALLY FIND A FUN WAY TO WORK OUT THAT MAKES YOU LOVE EXERCISING
YOU WOULD REGAIN YOUR FREEDOM AND YOUR LIFE, GETTING BACK TO DOING ALL THE THINGS YOU LOVE.
and so much more!...
Now, many women (including my students) do belly dance simply for the joy of it and to have fun exercising.
But for those looking to end leakage, I knew I needed to delve deeper...
then i had an epiphany and it all made sense...
Many people think that one of the ancient roots of belly dance is a ritual dance that prepared women for childbirth by strengthening the pelvic floor muscles...
A happy accident led me to discover a study in The Journal of Physical Therapy Science.
Remarkably, these scientific studies proved without question that belly dance can increase pelvic floor strength and relieve the symptoms of urinary incontinence.
After hours of research and putting it all together with how belly dance originated, I had an incredible realization…
