Welcome to the wonderful webby world of Om Laila.
Om Laila is Roula Said's Bellydance School and System.
Om Laila is the exploration of bellydance as "Love Yoga" - this journey includes the geometry and architecture of bellydance movements and their relationship to music and the chakras...it also includes the appreciation of a well designed bra.

This community is for Roula, Meaghan and Thania - the fabulous Om Laila teachers, and all our students and artistic friends to celebrate the gorgeous and wisdom- filled world of bellydance.

...and to talk about shiny costumes...and so forth.
