Who are you and what are your passions?

My name is Magdalena Regdos, I was born in Krakow, Poland and grew up in beautiful Canada.  I am an RMT, GO GO DANCER, CAPOEIRISTA, BELLYFIT INSTRUCTOR and lover of anything that is fueled by POSITIVE ENERGY.  My passions are my life’s work ... healing, dance, arts, being in nature with friends and family. 

What do you love about teaching Bellyfit?

I love sharing knowledge about women’s health ... Bellyfit is a very nonlinear, open minded, open hearted workout ... for example; when I introduce “The Shimmy” into a workout, and it is met with a touch of resistance, I keep it going, wait for the shift, and soon, something happens! The LOVE expands in the room ... literally, as the heart becomes more open, the chemistry in the room changes.  I love being in the space of non-judgment and total acceptance ... this state of being gives our body, mind and spirit a message to continue growing.

What is the most common feedback you receive from your participants about Bellyfit?

“WOW, that was soo fun!”  It is unlike any workout I have ever done before.  “I want to do this everyday!”

How do you feel that Bellyfit supports your lifestyle?

It supports my need to sweat, to share, to be with women and it continues challenging the belief that life is a struggle ... Bellyfit reminds me that life can be a dance, instead of a struggle! 

What do you think are the qualities that make a great Bellyfit Instructor?

A great Bellyfit Instructor is a compassionate teacher, dedicated to inspiring her students to be their best on a daily basis.  A great Bellyfit Instructor speaks her truth, and brings an opportunity for others to do the same.  She is committed to life long learning, and shares her wisdom with the world. 

What is the #1 thing women need to do to stay healthy and fit? (other than Bellyfit)

Women NEED to LOVE themselves ... from inside and out!  I think if a woman says to herself “I love you” on a daily basis ... she will be in love forever This may be a great way to stay healthy ... choosing words that create positive vibes in our bodies and minds. 

Anything else you would like to add?

My absolute favorite thing in the whole world is having an opportunity to invite friends and family over to my house for a feast. Spend most of the day preparing the meal (ie. pierogies made from scratch), exchanging recipes, chatting, laughing and finally, experiencing that great sensation of having everyone sit down together, to enjoy the meal.  There is something very nourishing about sharing food
