This truly rare and inspiring 2-disc DVD from Australian producer, doula, and Bellydancebirth instructor, Maha al Musa, offers instruction in belly dance for prenatal fitness and toning as well as a powerful tool for birthing in tune with your body and baby in a way that is completely natural during labor.  Disc 1 features a 45-minute dance/stretch warm up followed by six Bellydancebirth dance technique chapters.  The sequence can be gone through start to finish, or choose chapters that feel best and practice them again and again.  The program has clear instructions that are easy and gentle to follow and is designed to help empower you in pregnancy, alleviate fears, and encourage you to trust in the beauty of your body's birthing wisdom.  Disc Two features a 50-minute film of Maha's homebirth at 46 years of age, documenting belly dance in practice during labor.  Two midwives discuss the benefits of these techniques with Maha for both mother and baby's well being. Bellydancebirth is a feminine and strengthening dance of the womb. It is low impact, increases flexibilty and circulation, helps to reduce lower back pain, brings the dancer into a place of tranquility and stress release, strengthens core muscles, and is great for the pelvic floor. It fully grounds a woman in her pelvis while strongly connecting her to her baby.  Bellydancebirth honors every part of a woman's birthing journey, acknowledging our innate connection to the life we carry within. Through it, we can affirm our emotional and spiritual connection to all women who have come before us and will come after, birthing our babies with awareness, autonomy and strength by trusting in our bodies' birthing wisdom.  This 2-disc program is an excellent tool for birth professionals to share with their clients.  Endorsed by Australia's National Association of Childbirth Educators and the Australian Doula College.
