"Peace in our world begins with cultivating peace in utero. Pregnancy is the most important time in our development... prioritize peaceful, joyful, nurturing, & safe fitness activities to benefit your child for a lifetime and help transform our world in a positive way." Michelle Maniaci
Did you know belly dance originated to assist women during labor & childbirth? Give your child the gift of feeling healthy, fit, relaxed, & energized during the most developmentally important time in your lives... before birth. Nurturing Moves is a pioneering blend of mind-body fitness & healing exercises that integrate movement science based yoga & belly dance with music, massage, & play. Services were developed from a deep understanding of fetal psychology, how the body-brain functions & develops to offer the highest degree of safety, scientific integrity, & effectiveness.
In addition, services prepare women for positive birth & parenting experiences while also stimulating infant social-cognitive-motor development. Individuals cultivate inner peace & joy (the opposite of stress) while nurturing relationships by practicing mindful rhythmical movements coordinated with breath. Services are provided on land and in the water.
Group classes celebrate our feminine power, create community, and strengthens creative self-expression while also providing a whole body-mind workout.
Educational Courses & Teacher Trainings bridge movement science with ancient healing practices with the intention of empowering individuals to teach with the highest degree of safety, integrity, & effectiveness and to raise the level of scientific integrity to yoga & belly dance. Courses also teach health care professionals how to integrate holistic movement therapies with current evidence based practices.
Allow Michelle to guide you through this amazing journey with the intention of cultivating a more peaceful, conscious, connected, & healthy world for our children.
