belly dancing to shrink fibroids

Tonight I went to my weekly belly dancing class.

Belly dancing is fun, great exercise, sexy and evidently can be a fibroid shrinker. It's no accident that it originally developed as a fertility ritual. If we think of fibroids the way holistic medicine practitioners do -- as the result of stagnant energy in the pelvic area -- what better way to un-stagnate that area than to shake your hips vigorously!

Here's an excellent article on belly dancing an fibroids, with some nice success stories.

Here's an article that more generally explains why belly dancing is good for you, including helping to re-balance hormones. http://www.gildedserpent.com/art33/KetiFitness.htm

And here's another article that outlines the benefits of belly dancing. http://www.health24.com/fitness/Exercises/16-1339,42836.asp

I used to take belly dancing a long time ago and am enjoying getting back into it again. It's something I had been planning to do again but always seemed to put on the back burner -- the fibroids have inspired me to put it on the front burner (wish I had done it sooner).

Belly dancing is offered at many health clubs and community centers, or through private lessons. It should be easy to find classes in your area by typing "belly dancing" and the name of your city or area into google.

Also there are some great DVDs out there that you can use to practice at home.
There are over a hundred on Amazon.com! belly dance videos on Amazon
I have this set and really like it: Discover Bellydance DVD set

It's a lot more fun if you use a hip scarf with little coins sewn on -- making them tinkle is motivation to shake those hips!
