SILVER SPRING, MD; March 4, 2008 —Acacia announces the May 27, 2008 DVD release of Beautiful Belly with Hemalayaa, providing the perfect way to tone your tummy while having fun with three 12-minute routines. Hemalayaa’s warmth and playfulness combined with her expertise in Indian dance and yoga makes for a fun, dance-inspired abs workout. She’s the creator of the bestselling DVDs The Bollywood Dance Workout, Dance of the Kama Sutra, and Bollywood Burn.

Fitness star and yogini Hemalayaa draws on dance moves from across the globe in three 12-minute routines plus a fast-paced cardio warm-up that offer a refreshing new way to work those all-important core muscles.

Providing complete flexibility, the routines can be done individually or combined. Start with the fast-paced cardio warm-up, then choose one, two, or all three of the routines. The upbeat music and variety of moves will keep you interested and make the time fly. Hemalayaa goes way beyond boring crunches, creating workouts you’ll love to do. You’ll shimmy, stretch, and bounce your way to the belly you’ve always wanted: shapely, strong, and sexy.

Hemalayaa teaches yoga and Indian dance in California and offers frequent workshops and retreats around the world. Her in-depth study and practice of classical Indian dance informs how she teaches yoga. A life devoted to yoga and dance animates Hemalayaa’s playful spirit. Many of her retreats and workshops culminate in a night of dance. She loves turning her students on to the vibrant styles of Indian dance, from the classical to the latest moves from Bollywood, bhangra, and Indian MTV.
