The mind may make the body sick,
but only the body
can help the mind be well again.

Belly Dance

 

One important aspect of wellness is Joyful Movement. When we force ourselves to exercise in ways we think we should, not only is it hard to stick to, but we miss out on the pleasure of moving for fun.

 

The positive emotions produced during enjoyable activities multiply the health benefits of exercise, while the stress chemicals of forced exercise create more strain on our system.

 

Allison's favorite form of Joyful Movement is belly dance! It may not be yours, but we here at New Leaf are here to help you discover your own favorite ways to move.​

​

Allison (whose belly dance name is Satya) performs her unique style of belly dance at The Barzarre, The Sorrow Drowner, Bourgie Nights, and other venues in the greater Wilmington area. She was the very first performer at the opening of the Live Oak Bank Pavilion.
