Belly Dancing and Hula Hooping (9/21/11)

Eryka Andrex will be joining us to share her Belly Dance and Hula Hooping Skills! Eryka has taught mini-sessions of Belly Dancing at our Red Tent Events and we assure you, she makes it fun and easy--even if you are dancing in your third trimester.

Belly Dancing:
*Helps your baby get in optimal position for birth
*Tones your abdomen after-baby
*It is so much FUN!
*Gentle but effective exercise safe for pregnancy, postpartum, breastfeeding, etc.

Eryka will also be bringing hula hoops! I was never able to hula hoop with the lightweight toy hoops of my youth....Eryka makes her own hoops for her classes that are larger (proportioned for adults) and of varying weights. With the right hoop, I was able to learn how to keep it up by the end of my first session!

Fortunately, my children (9 & 4) also love to hoop, and the baby loves to watch--making it fun and doable for the whole family!

There will be hoops available for order or purchase.
*Please note: Hula Hooping is only postpartum/non-pregnancy exercise!

As always, our meetings are FREE and all women, babies and children are welcome. We hope you can join us and try 2 great forms of exercise.

Fertility Awareness Method, August 17, 2011

At our next meeting, we will learn about Fertility Signs and how to track them in order to conceive or avoid conception.

If you are interested in becoming pregnant, learn to read your body's cues and identify your peak 24 hours of fertility.

If you are interested in birth control, know that you only need to use barrier methods for approximately 30% of your monthly cycle. And, according to www.tcoyf.com, this technique (if used correctly) has a failure rate of approximately 2%. ("This is considered lower than any other barrier method, expect the condom--which is also 2%.")

This information is so helpful and empowering for women at all stages of life.
