The
gentle circular and rolling motions of belly dance have long been associated
with the intuitive movements that many women have found to ease the discomfort
of pregnancy, and even the pain of labor. Belly dancing is a particularly good
form of prenatal exercise because it is low impact, promotes good posture, and
improves abdominal control and awareness needed during pregnancy, childbirth,
and in the postpartum recovery period. Apart from the important physical
benefits of exercise during pregnancy, belly dancing also promotes a feeling of
well being and offers women a fun and social way in which to experience their
changing bodies.
