The Way of the Belly

[kiyaana]

I have the book "The Way of the Belly" by Neena and Veena. I've only read/skimmed the first section on eating habits, so I can't give a full review, but I do think I would have really liked this book as a teenager. (I appreciate it now, too, but the information would have been new for me then, if that makes sense.) It comes with a DVD, which I haven't watched, yet. From what I can tell, the book is about nutrition, exercise, personal grooming, and overall health and beauty tips.

Anyway, I'm mentioning it because the publisher, Hay House, is offering it, along with 50 other items, for $5.00 this week. (Just over $10 on Amazon.)

I think it's a nice gift for young women who are interested in the dance.

my teacher loves that book and is showing it to all her classes now. i was thinking of buying it as a present for all my friends who have expressed interest in the dance.

i bought two copies. it took 10 days for ups ground but i got them. i really like the book. i agree that it would have been new information 10 years ago but i really like it anyway. i should have bought more of them for that price.

What's on the bonus DVD? Is it anything different to the Basic Dance DVD? I was considering buying it, but I want to find out more information first because it's expensive to get it here.

So it's for young women... how young?

I don't think that it is just for young women. I think women of all ages can benefit from SOME of the information in the book-there are makeup tips, recipes for some of their favorite Middle Eastern dishes, and natural beauty recipes, etc. in the book as well.

Hmmm....the dvd is different from their regular Basic Dance and Basic Moves dvds. This one has a few moves not in the others, such as the hagala or 3/4 shimmy walk. It also teaches a choreography, and shows it with and without a veil.

yeah i think it would be good for a lot of women. a very love yourself and treat yourself like a queen kind of message. i really liked it. and the dvd was basic and cute. i think it's a good idea because they had to show the moves being done instead of just in written form.

Thanks! It sounds good. I wanted it but wasn't sure whether it was too... "teenager-y". I can't find it in a bookstore or even a library here... I think I'd have to get it off ebay, and it's $26.95 plus postage. No $5 specials!

Hay House has Australia in the drop-down for countries when filling out shipping info. I don't know how much shipping is, but the book itself is about $12.00 USD through them.
