Long before epidurals existed, women in labor used the ancient technique of belly dance to ease their babies into the world. More than just a ritual, belly dance was used to isolate the muscles needed for birth and relax and energize the rest of the body.

  • Wish I knew about bellydance when I had my 4 children. However it is not too late to learn after the event. I learned in your 40s to keep the maturing body fit.

  • @magicalbellydancing Absolutely! My grandmother at 92 came to stay with my mother and was unable to handle the stairs in her house when she arrived. After a month, she was able to go up and down the stairs at will during the day without a problem. It's never too late to improve your level of fitness. Kudos to you!

  • I knew it was possible to have a natural pain-free birth!!

  • One of the best and clearest explanations of how a woman can help herself during one of the most rewarding acts of nature. The motions and music are so graceful, uplifting and inspiring. As a registered nurse who worked for years in the delivery room I was very impressed with the ease and control you had in your labor and delivery. I'm sure your video will do much to help all the women who follow your lead and give them many happy memories or their birthing experience.

  • This was great! Bellydancing is my favorite hobby. I'm almost 27 weeks into my second pregnancy so I definitely need to practice this.

  • This was awesome Elisa. I can see there was a lot of research put into this video. As always I am so proud of you.

  • I think its very erotic!!!
