Arm work and chest isolations on dvd

For the past few days I've only done the first yoga warm-up session, the arm drills and the chest isolations. Since this video, Bellydance and Yoga Conditioning with Ariellah, is so vast and the style is so new to me, I've decided to treat it like a series of classes. We didn't start off doing the entire routine at my 'real' class. We didn't even lean the first hip move until the second class. The first was spent with warm-up stretches, isolations and posture. In the next lesson we did the one hip move the last 15 minutes of class in drills.


I feel I'm getting a bit better at my arm movements. I've been practicing side-to-side chest isolations since day one of class - it's done wonders for my waist! However, the drill in the video has you also sliding your chest forward, then to the other side in a fluid, circular motion. This is NOT easy, even the third time you do it. It is fascinating, though, as this is the first time I've ever moved and have seen my body move like this! I like practicing this one.
