Darla's
Biography
Darla,
a.k.a. Badriyah, has a dancing spirit. Her introduction into
belly dancing began in 1995, which has now grown into a significant
part of her life. Darla continues on her quest to learn more,
and become a more refined and creative dancer. A desire to
learn more has led her to study from many stars of Middle
Eastern dance such as Delilah, Suzanna Del Vecchio, Sahra,
Suzy, Aziza, Carolena Nericcio, Mesmera and many more. In
2002, Darla ventured into teaching an introductory belly dance
class at the YWCA.
Since
that time she has shared her knowledge, humor and passion
with an ever-growing student base and class offerings. Her
primary focus of teaching is to create joy, learn correct
technique, and foster respect for this dance art form. Darla
is an accredited bellydance instructor with the Regina Association
of Middle Eastern Dance. In 2002, Badriyah received her first
hand introduction to American Tribal Style Belly Dance with
Anne Lehmar, formally of Fat Chance Belly Dance. With a burning
desire to create a unique prairie based tribe she pulled together
the most capable and inspired dancers in 2005 to what is now
Exalta Tribal Connections.
Darla
is much devoted to her students, forever encouraging them
to learn and grow. She herself enjoys dabbling in new dance
genres such as Hip-Hop and Bhangra. Darla works as a clinical
mental health social worker, and nurtures a family.

$45.00 for all three sessions
Location:
YWCA 1940 McIntyre St .

In
this 3-session workshop, you will learn about the relationship
between stress, our bodies, breath and energy and have the
opportunity to experience a variety of effective ways to release
built-up stress and tension and increase the flow of energy
in our bodies.
The
primary stress-release and energy-creation tools will be deep
breathing and movement – all gentle, simple, and easy to integrate
into daily life. When we consciously move and breathe more
deeply, we:
•
feel more alive and have more
energy for living
•
reduce fatigue and relieve pain,
tension, anxiety, and depression
•
become more able to live in the
present moment
Please

Biography
After
attending my first Nia class, I knew that Nia was a lifestyle
practice and movement form that I wanted to explore &
share with others - the magical mix of Eastern & Western
movements & the focus on moving in your own skin with
JOY. . . I have spontaneously danced my way through life,
and engaged in mindfulness practices that ground and center
me. I facilitate classes in a playful way, while honouring
each individual and creating space for growing awareness and
self-expression.

BODY
ROLLING
Instructor
- Sherry Trentini
Body
Rolling
is a small ball therapy that can help you to create space
in your body by releasing and lengthening your muscles and
connective tissue. Body Rolling was created to help people
free themselves of physical restrictions and experience optimal
living. Using a selection of balls, Body Rolling can prevent
and heal injuries by: elongating muscles, freeing muscles
from each other and from bone, awakening muscle memory, stimulating
and improving bone quality. A perfect compliment to any other
physical activity but also great for those less active.
Chest
& Shoulder Opening with Body Rolling
In
this session we will use a gentle and effective technique
of using a ball
supported
by the wall to massage our spine and create space in our chest
and
shoulders.
Abdominal
Release & Hip Opener
The
intention of this class is to create space in the abdominal
area and hips,
allowing
us to open up and elongate our torsos. By lessening the tension
in
the
abdomials, we will effectively assist in releasing the lower
back and free
restrictions
in the pelvic area.
Releasing
the Hamstrings with Body Rolling
This
session will utilize the ball in a supported seated position
to release
and
elongate the hamstrings. We will actively roll on the ball
in a myofascial
style
to lift the gluteus muscles and open up the sciatic area.
Foot
Fitness
The
objectives of this seminar will include reducing foot pain,
stimulating
poor
circulation, managing plantar fascitis and improving the overall
well
being
of our feet. The session will lead you through an enjoyable
and
therapeutic
foot care routine that you can incorporate into your own home
practice
with the help of the miraculous little Foot Wakers.
All equipment for the sessions is supplied & class size
is limited.

HypnoBirthing
® is a safe and amazing effective way to have a relaxing
and calm natural childbirth.
By using relaxation, visualizations and special breathing
techniques, you will be able to enter a state of self-hypnosis.
While in this state, you will birth your baby in a more comfortable
manner: alert, relaxed, free from harmful drugs. In fact,
many women experience little or no discomfort during their
labour.
HypnoBirthing® will help you to trust in
your body, your baby and the remarkable process of birth.
It combines the best of natural childbirth education with
hypnosis. It teaches that by replacing fear and tension with
deep relaxation, you do not have to experience acute pain
during birth - the natural process of birth works perfectly
when you are sufficiently relaxed.
It sounds incredible but it’s true… read some of the birth
stories at www.hypnobirthing.com
to see for yourself.
I am a certified practitioner in HypnoBirthing® (the Mongan
method) and was trained in Minneapolis in April by the founder.
I am the only practitioner in Sask.
HypnoBirthing® is taught in a series of 5 classes lasting
about 2 1/2 hours each. The total programme cost is $300 including
an accompanying book and relaxation cds. This may sound like
a lot but think about how much time, money and energy you
put into preparing a physical space for your baby (crib, car
seat, sling, stroller). Isn't you and your baby's birth experience
worth just as much or more?
