The Essential Guide To Belly Dance For Pregnancy & Birth
Revealing the ancient arabic art of bellydance as a pre-natal and birthing exercise.
Dance of the Womb is A WORLD FIRST, this 300 page book specifically details the enormous benefits of using the movements of bellydance as a birth dance. It instructs a woman on how to make use of this ancient wisdom to ease and empower your passage to motherhood.
Dance of the Womb is more than just a detailed instruction manual for exercise in pregnancy, it is also a beautifully crafted story of Maha's life interwoven with the details of each bellydance movement. The dance movements and their spiritual, emotional and physical application in turn serve to illustrate Maha's experiences on her journey from maiden to mother. Maha describes the art of the bellydance as a bridge between East and West and encourages women to apply their innate feminine intelligence into the act of giving birth. She positively encourages women to follow this thread colourfully woven through her own powerful stories. Dance of the Womb is a practical manual as well as a deeply personal and inspiring tale.

Reviews of Dance Of The Womb:
'Maha Al Musa's writing is rooted in her personal observation and understanding of Arab birth culture, for whom birth traditionally is a powerful dance, and in which women work with the pain. She interprets it to help women in childbirth.
Maha I love the way you write. It is so personal, yet has universal significance.'
- Sheila Kitzinger
