My name is Fernanda, and my stage name is Zahara. I am a multi-award-winning belly dancer and creator of the Yoga Belly Dance Flow, where I unite the soulful heart of yoga with the vibrant spirit of dance. Originally from Brazil, I have dedicated my life to mastering and performing a fusion of cultural dance styles, including Persian, Bollywood, Samba, and more. My journey is deeply rooted in the rhythm of my Brazilian spirit while embracing the rich traditions of Middle Eastern and global dance forms.In addition to my dance background, I am a certified yoga instructor with over 800 hours of training, including extensive studies in a variety of yoga styles. My teaching approach combines the fluidity and grace of dance with the mindfulness and strength of yoga, creating a transformative experience that connects body, heart, and mind.As an experienced instructor, I guide students through soulful and energetic classes designed to ignite the spirit and inspire graceful, confident movement. Whether on stage or guiding students on the mat, I am devoted to spreading light and happiness through every step, breath, and heartbeat.
