Bellydance for Core Fitness, with Ayshe: Belly dance fitness, Belly dance abdominal workout, Belly dance instruction
As a teacher, Ayshe combines her love of exotic movement and her academic knowledge of the human body. Her college degree in Human Movement involved studies in anatomy, kinesiology, corrective exercise, analysis of movement, motor learning, and dance therapy.Early on, as a dancer, she observed there were some subtle, yet surprisingly difficult and highly unusual torso and pelvic movement isolations in Middle Eastern dance. She experienced that the journey toward the accomplishment of these coordinations, through careful and patient strengthening and stretching of deep internal pelvic and back muscles, would give the practitioner an unusual and powerful body awareness. Along with this would come a physical centeredness and a sense of personal inner strength that would bring forth physical health and relief from mental stress.In her classes Ayshe has developed a series of simple exercises that will put the student on the road to a better understanding of her/his body in space and set the foundations for the individual to seek self expression through movement.
