Najia has inspired audiences with her sensual Middle Eastern dance in Egypt and Jordan, as well as in restaurants, nightclubs, and Pearl Jam’s preshow. Building her diverse dancing resumé, she pilgrimages to the Middle East for two or three months each year to continue researching dances, garner inspiration for her Philadelphia Bellydance company, and make her passport more colorful. She calls upon all of her twirling know-how to lead series of four weekly classes, in which students learn to shimmy, hip drop, and send veils fluttering through the air or weave together basic moves for complex choreography. On the fifth week after class sessions, students meet for a confidence-inspiring Goddess Night that awakens inner beauty through dance workshops, vegan treats, and performances as guests mingle bedecked in veils, gems, and outer adornment.

The variety of classes and comforting environment at the studio earned it a nod for the Best Yoga Studio in the area on CityVoter. There are classes for beginners as well as sessions for more advanced enthusiasts. Start your week with an empowering Monday Success session, or end your week with the relaxing, deep-breathing Thank God It's Friday class. A variety of other classes are offered in between and outside these weekly bookends. Check the schedule for the complete details, dates, and times of upcoming classes. Stop by 30 minutes before class time to meet and greet with the instructors and to barter your family recipes and beaver pelts for their insider yoga tips.

Dazzling audiences since 1911, Plays and Players boasts a troupe of talented thespians ready to take on Lost in Yonkers, a play that has won four Tony Awards, a Pulitzer Prize, and countless fist pumps. The complex and sharp-witted coming-of-age story follows two brothers sent to live in Yonkers, New York. Written by Neil Simon and directed by Betty Chomentowski, the approximately two-hour comedic drama depicts the struggles the brothers face after their father sends them to live with their immigrant grandmother, simple-minded aunt, and hooligan uncle. During the performance's 15-minute intermission, audience members can wipe tears of laughter from their eyes or mend the tears in their skulls incurred while thinking too deeply about the play's lessons on family relationships.

Aloha Style on the Main Line's schedule is packed with classes for all ages and skill levels. Grass skirts are in no way required to enter into a beginning hula class (ages 13–99) or Keiki hula children's class (ages 5–9) (though you can buy them on-site if you like, along with sarongs, leis, muumuus, Tom Selleck's old mustaches, and more). For 45 minutes, both beginner tutorials let students walk in a hula dancer's shoeless feet by teaching them basic steps that collectively craft a story through movement. For the next step up, a Tahitian class gets the hips swaying to the beat of island drums with a developmental focus in Aparima, or "kiss of the hands," which is used to weave crowd-pleasing cultural narratives like Stephen King making baskets with his pelvis.

Yoga on the Ridge’s classes specialize in working with back injuries, Parkinson's disease, and excess stress. Yoga for Parkinson’s Disease, for example, is taught by professional therapist Therea Conroy and focuses exclusively on improving posture and gait in PD patients, improving their flexibility, strength, and balance. Newbies, meanwhile, can get up to speed on the fundamentals of alignment, breathing, and basic yogic positions (asanas) such as Downward Facing Dog, Sun Salutation, and Kneel Before Zod in Yoga Basics. The more meditative Vinyasa Yoga links movement, breath, and intention into one continuous flow amidst an atmosphere of readings, music, and movement. The meditative, intense Yin Yoga teaches you to hold asanas for five to ten minutes at a time until you’re covered in pigeons who’ve mistaken you for statuary. Finally, the overstressed can quiet their minds and become more aware of their mind-body-spirit connection, Chinese connection, and rainbow connection during Yoga for Stress Relief.
