For 35 -year old Cherie H., the physical
benefits of taking classes with Zaphara extend far beyond
achieving her fitness goals. Cherie was diagnosed with
structural alignment issues and signed up for bellydancing on a
whim.
She saw benefits in the way of
decreased pain after her first session, and has since found that
bellydancing delivers and excellent core workout. "After
eight weeks of dance classes, I got results that six months of
physical therapy could not produce in terms of feeling really
good and pain free".
