“Most programs - barre, sculpt, pilates, yoga, resistance training, etc. - concentrate on a certain niche. The theme is always building a strong foundation. For me, the strong foundation is the core… it is our powerhouse. The core connects our bodies to our breath, and connects our breath to our moods & our thoughts. The core is a stabilizer and a support for the rest of our bodies. It protects our spinal column and promotes our reproductive health. It allows us to age gracefully and protect our muscles and ligaments as we get older.”
– Mariam Sufi
Mariam’s classes all have a well-known theme:
CORE STRENGTHENING & CORE STABILIZING.
In Zumba, we use our core to help isolate our different body parts, to help connect with the fluid as well as the sharp movements, and to protect our joints. In Belly Dancing, the core is what creates isolations and helps promote layering within each movement. In Pilates, the powerhouse is the center of all movement...
THE CORE IS ALWAYS THE MAIN INGREDIENT AND FACTOR IN THE RECIPE.
Belly. Dance. Core. connects the dots. This program is a lifestyle. It starts with nutrition, which is all about what you put into your body; it is all about movement, and particularly moving functionally to promote balance and mobility; and, it is all about core, because the core is the center of the body and provides the body its strength.
