 From Bodywork to Bellydance: Three Fabulous Workshops to Delight Mind, 
Body, and Soul
All identities welcome

Local Teacher and Hampshire Alum Jericha Senyak (www.jerichasenyak.com) 
will lead an exploration of the deep awareness of the muscles used in 
belldyance as a method for overcoming shame, traum, and body-negative 
experiences centered in the belly and pelvis.  We'll work with awesome 
global fusion music, a long warmup, and a hefty dollop of humor to put 
ourselves in touch with parts of our body that we usually shut up or 
shut down.

For a different take on bodylove, come learn about self-care techniques 
from dancer, farmer, and Hampshire alum Lydia Irons!  Lydia is a 
licensed massage therapist who runs the Flexible Farmer 
(www.theflexiblefarmer.com), a massage and consulting practice that 
specializes in Bodywork for the Working Body.  As someone who really 
knows what it's like to rely on her body as a tool for both work and 
self-expression, Lydia's tips, tricks and techniques are invaluable - 
and fun!

Renowned local dancer, teacher, and performer Sahina 
(www.sahinabellydance.com) will lead an encounter with the fundamentals 
of technique and an introduction to the music and rhythms common to many 
of the distinctive styles of Middle Eastern dance.  Fun, expressive, and 
body-positive, this class will have you walking home with a shimmy in 
your step and a new musicality ringing in your ears.  Open to all levels 
of experience

Jericha, Lydia, and Sahina are all local dancers, teachers, and 
practitioners who share a love of helping people develop and care for 
health, expressive, hard-working bodies in all shapes and sizes!  Ask 
them questions any time!
