    Belly Yoga with Aynil is a transformative practice that brings you into physical and emotional connection with each other in class through dance and music -the way that people have always connected! It's also a terrific work out.

  • Dede

    Aynil is pure joy. Belly Yoga is a fun class, and you will move parts of your body you never knew existed. Plus you get to wear a shimmy belt!

  • Sue Johannsen

    Aynil's Belly Yoga class starts with gentle yoga moves and incorporates fluid muscle movements so you are flowing between poses. There is more focus on isolating muscle movement and opening up space in the torso and hips. I find this practice very helpful for balance, flexibility, and coordination..

FAQs

Can Belly Yoga help with emotional healing and trauma release?

Belly Yoga helps with emotional healing and trauma release by combining mindful movement, breathwork, and body awareness to gently release stored emotions in a safe space. The expressive movements, especially from belly dance, engage the core and hips—areas where emotions are often held—promoting emotional release and grounding. By focusing on the breath and cultivating a compassionate, heart-centered approach, Belly Yoga helps practitioners reconnect with their bodies, process emotions, and foster inner peace.

How does sacred geometry fit into a Belly Yoga session?

In a Belly Yoga session, sacred geometry is incorporated as a visualization tool and energetic framework to support balance and alignment. Visualizing shapes like circles, spirals, or other geometric patterns during movements can enhance body awareness, grounding, and flow, helping practitioners feel more connected and centered. This integration of sacred geometry fosters harmony and a deeper connection to the natural rhythms of the body, enriching the overall healing experience.

Can Belly Yoga help with body awareness and confidence?

Yes, Belly Yoga enhances body awareness and builds confidence by guiding practitioners to connect deeply with their physical movements and sensations. The flowing, rhythmic movements of Belly Yoga, inspired by belly dance, encourage participants to explore and embrace their unique bodies, cultivating self-acceptance and appreciation. This practice helps individuals feel more grounded, embodied, and confident, empowering them both on and off the mat.

What type of movements are involved in Belly Yoga, and are they gentle on the body?

Belly Yoga combines fluid, circular, and undulating movements inspired by belly dance and yoga, focusing on the core, hips, and chest. The practice includes spine waves that align posture and release stagnant energies, along with arm waves to build strength and open the heart. These gentle, flowing movements enhance body awareness and are accessible for most fitness levels, encouraging mindful movement within each individual’s comfort range to support flexibility, strength, and relaxation without strain.

What kind of atmosphere and environment is a Belly Yoga class designed to create?

A Belly Yoga class is designed to create a warm, supportive, and heart-centered atmosphere that feels both nurturing and empowering. The environment is often calming, with soft lighting, soothing music with dance beats to help to flow in divine feminine energy and a focus on creating a safe space where participants can connect with their bodies without judgment. This inviting setting encourages relaxation, self-expression, and an openness to healing, which makes it a transformative experience.
