Yoga as a Path to Self
Yoga perfectly complements belly dance, creating a holistic approach to conscious movement and deep connection with your own body. Through asanas, pranayama, and meditation, we explore the intimate relationship between breath, movement, and awareness.
In my yoga classes, the focus is on each student's personal journey. Regardless of your experience level, yoga becomes a tool for self-exploration, healing, and spiritual growth.
