I have been taking belly dance classes from Malik through the duration of my pregnancy with my third child, as well as before and after. I found bellydance to be a good way to enjoy and embrace being a woman, as well as confidence building. It was a great workout to ease my aches and pains as my belly grew during my pregnancy & extremely helpful in my post partum recovery.
Wellness Circle
Making changes to improve your health often gets put on the backburner. Maybe you don't know where to start, worry you won't have the support and encouragement you need, or it just seems too overwhelming. Whether you want to lower your stress level, build muscle tone for more strength and agility, increase your cardiovascular health so you can play with your children, or lose a few pounds to fight diabetes and heart disease, there is a healthier lifestyle in your future, and you are not alone.
Joining the Wellness Circle at Hip Circle Studio may be just what you need. Led by Malik Turley, who successfully decided to take control of her own health two years ago, the Wellness Circle focuses on encouragement and reinforcement in your quest to wellness. You'll come together with other women who share your goals and gain tips, techniques, and support along the way.
Being part of the Circle begins with an individual consultation with Malik to discuss your personal goals and concerns, as well as the barriers that have kept you from making these changes in your past. Malik, a certified Group Exercise and Zumba instructor, doula, and mother of three, is dedicated to working with woman in all stages of life and each group’s agenda is tailored to meet the needs of the individuals. The group will gather once a week to discuss nutrition, activity, stress reduction and self-care, so that you have the tools to start making small but noticeable changes.
Each woman participating in the Circle makes a personal commitment to the following:
-attending each group meeting
-participating in at least one group exercise class per week
-completing 210 minutes of physical activity per week (equivalent to 30 minutes per day)
-reserving 105 minutes for self-care per week (equivalent to 15 minutes per day)
-documenting activity, nutrition, and self-care in your log book (provided at first meeting)
New groups will be formed every 3 months and will meet for 12 weeks. In addition to all the materials shared at the weekly gatherings, Wellness Circle participants will receive a Wellness Circle T-shirt. There are 3 options for enrolling in a Wellness Circle:
