Rachel Brice: Tribal Fusion Yoga Isolations &
Drills for Bellydance

[ندعوك للتسجيل في المنتدى أو التعريف بنفسك لمعاينة هذه الصورة]

The connection and interdependence between yoga and belly dance are
explored in Tribal Fusion, a reasonably comprehensive and intense
program drawing on both disciplines and demonstrated by the remarkable
Rachel Brice. Practices of three different lengths (15, 30, and about 40
minutes) are offered; elements in the shorter practices are repeated
and expanded on in the longer ones. The yoga portions include some basic
sun salutations, lunges, backbends (specifically the locust pose), and
such; the more extensive belly dancing exercises and undulations focus
on the hips, the chest, and shoulders.
Brice's instructions are
efficient, if sometimes a bit on the brisk side (it's one thing to
exhort students to practice ujjayi pranayama, the deep, audible nostril
breathing style used in yoga; it's quite another to do so without even
saying what it is, let alone showing how it's done). Whether or not any
of the female users for which this DVD is intended will be able to
replicate Brice's belly dancing moves is open to question, as her
technique and amazingly toned body make things look easy when, in fact,
mere mortals may find them baffling, to say the least. Moreover,
although Carolena Nericcio, one of Brice's mentors and the "hostess" of
this program, stresses that "the main attraction (of belly dancing) is
delight," Brice doesn't seem to be having much fun, never so much as
cracking a smile. Little matter. When you're this good, there's no need
to kid around.
