Authentic Bellydance & Feminine Empowerment with a Saudi Instructor in London

From 40.21 € /h

About Me:
Welcome! I am a Saudi Bellydancer and Instructor based in London. My journey with Bellydance has been more than just art; it was my sanctuary. Drawing from my background in Psychology and my personal path of overcoming life’s challenges, I help women reconnect with their bodies and inner strength.

I don’t just teach dance steps; I share a path to healing and self-discovery. I believe that every hip shimmy is a release of tension, and every movement is a celebration of freedom.

What You Will Learn:
My classes are a safe space for beginners to explore their femininity. We will focus on:

- Core Techniques: Master the art of authentic posture, hips isolations, and graceful transitions.

- The Language of the Body: Using movement to express emotions and release stress.

- Facial Expression & Presence: Learning how to be present and radiant while you dance.

- Authentic Charm: Learn the secrets of dancing with the grace, allure, and soul of an Arab woman, captivating and magical.

- The Healing Connection: How to use dance as a tool for emotional resilience and self-love.

My three main areas of expertise (not necessarily in this order):

- Chess: I teach chess to beginners and intermediate players up to ELO 1800 or ECF 1700, working on the tactical and strategic aspects of openings, middle games and endgames.. "chess is life in miniature"!

- Fitness / Running / Triathlon: I coach people who want to get fitter and generally incorporate any endurance activity into a health(ier) lifestyle. I am a dedicated coach who has competed in several marathons and Ironman races (also qualified for the Ironman World Championship). I focus on nutrition, stress and sleep as well for a holistic approach.

- Languages: I specialize in tutoring Italian and Spanish; my style is to keep students challenged and motivated through simple classes and practical exercises (pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary).. I'm a demanding teacher but will guide you in a fun and interactive way.

Please contact me if you have any interest in spending more time and energy in any of these 3 areas, and don't forget that "Mens Sana in Corpore Sano" is a good approach to look after yourself :)

I'm a Sivananda Classical Hatha Yoga instructor and teach all levels, beginners, intermediate and advanced levels. Currently teaching back in studio gym/leisure centers or privately online.
A typical open level class includes Relaxation, Pranayama (breathing exercises), warm-ups including Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar), Single & Double leg raises, 12 Basic asanas (postures), and final deep relaxation. The focus is on mastering the basic asanas from which variations are then added to further deepen the practice. The asanas follow an order that allows for the systematic movement of every major part of the body in a balanced way that enhances prana or life force energy, keeping the mind quiet and without the need to think beyond each individual pose.
I also teach chair yoga which will be different from the above class description but still includes relaxation, breathing exercises and simpler chair-based yoga.

I offer a range of different dance classes, as well as yoga, stretching, and toning all with the underlying movement of the body. I have been working and teaching in the industry all my life and have worked with those who have no experience at all to those who are considered to be some of the best in their respected fields. I provide an in-depth class that is specifically designed to match the skill level and goals of the students I take on. I can either travel to your exact location or book a space in a venue that may suit you better depending on your space allowance. In these classes, we will go through a range of techniques, learn new skills and mostly have fun. ( I can teach up to three people at a time if you would like to buddy up with friends or family ).

Would you like some low-impact activity to work on strengthening and stretching all the different group muscles? While also easing your thoughts and giving yourself a moment of relax and mindfulness? Then Pilates is for you.
I’m a qualified profession dancer and dance teacher and I can help you stretch and strengthen the core areas of your body with low-impact exercises tailored to your ability. It’s also scientifically proven that exercise also boosts your mood and confidence, so it can definitely be considered an act of self care.

Depending of the spaces (Webcam or on location) the class would differ.
My main aim is for people to have access to a system of learning through which they can absorb and understand a practice that they could then bring with them wherever and whenever they want.
My way of teaching involves for the moment 17 different chapter, involving improvisation tools (Movement), theatre exercises, stretching and fitness.
All the classes are customised according to the students needs and objectives.

This class is dedicated to all those who wish to calm the nervous system and work on rooting themselves in the present moment. Connecting with the body and its language. A combination of yoga and somatic techniques that help us understand how our body works and its relationship with the mind.

For all levels, because we're not looking for virtuosity in complicated positions, but to refine our perception, communication and understanding of our ‘total self’.

We'll use asanas and pranayama, as well as micromovements and meditation. Everyone is welcome!

A perfect class if you're going through a period of stress or a lot of mental activity or worry, if you lead a very sedentary life, or simply if you want to relax and move your body.

The purpose of those classes is education, not on the superficial level of mimicking form, but on a profoundly deep level of understanding the full use of the body as an integral whole to maximize full function of each individual's unique movement potential.

The aim is toward maximum physicality in function and overall health as well as a state of relaxation and a stimulation of the body's energy centres and meridians that is revitalising and
healing.

The benefits of yoga also include gaining flexibility and working on breathing skills concentration, balance, endurance, muscular and vital strength, as well as strengthening the nervous system and immune system.

The content and dynamics of the practices will be adapted to your experience, needs, age, and specific circumstances, seeking to gain the greatest possible benefit.

I have experience working with and teaching beginners and people with little experience of physical work as well as children in the field of dance, acting movement, and yoga.

My dance classes are all about connecting movement with emotion and discovering your own rhythm.

I create a comfortable, inspiring space where you can express yourself freely while improving coordination, body awareness, and confidence.

Each session includes warm-up, creative movement, and choreography — sometimes soft and flowing, sometimes full of energy and strength.

You don’t need to have any experience; just bring your curiosity and let your body speak through the music. Dance is not only about steps — it’s about feeling, storytelling, and being fully present in the moment.
