I try to make short dancing videos whenever I’m dressed well 😁
Because usually I’m in grubby salwars- looking very sweaty and dirty.
So here’s another little bit from Pondicherry….
😊
Thank you for the video @sinha.pratyaksha

Just danced a bit on the walk back home from the workshop 😁
Nothing too dramatic… trying to hear the music with all the traffic and distractions….
😂
The last few days have been so wonderful teaching…. Will share more about the intensive in my next post.

Had such a lovely week in london, teaching the @theraadhakalpamethod in the LAS intensive. It’s a process – being a teacher – and each year I’m getting better at it. 😊
This photo series is from an unplanned meet up with @soozanapvan and @iconique_dreams
Thank you both for a lovely morning!
You’ll all be seeing a lot more from that morning 😊

It’s been lovely shooting with @instadhoom over the last couple of days for their new music video. Don’t forget to watch it when it comes out! #khwaamkhaa !
Here’s me dancing randomly as usual …. Please don’t ask me what kind of dance it is…. I don’t know. 🤪
I usually dance Bharatanatyam…. But this is not Bharatanatyam… 😁
Thank you @tusharmahajanofficial for the lovely video.

Day 36: #100daysofinnergrowth
It’s become important to me to constantly think about whether I can be “a source of comfort” . I know that I may not have been a source of joy or comfort in the past. But over the last few years I’ve begun to consistently consider this.
What can I do? what should I have done differently? What must I change about myself? – in order to be a source of comfort for those around me.
It is really not that easy…. Especially when I’m hurt or upset myself…. But if I think of this… I usually choose an action path that keeps away from emotional upheaval ….

Sunsets have a way of putting people in a good mood….
I used to listen to this song many many years ago. Never thought I’d work with the same band on a music video many years later …. @instadhoom

Karanas are the basic unit of movement according to the Natyashastra.
I use karanas in my Bharatanatyam choreography because I have come from a lineage that uses Karanas. Guru Padma Subrahmanyam revived the karanas through her extensive research and so many of us have benefitted from her work.
Some people presume that my Bharatanatyam work is more “modern” or “contemporary” , but perhaps it is the karanas that are misleading. They are in fact very very ancient!
Just enjoying some time in this beautiful place in Pondicherry….

A lot of people presume that the videos on this platform are meant only for dancers. That is certainly not the case.
The RUKS wellness platform is for everyone!!
And the free trial is still available!
It helps the non-mover, discover movement within them. The platform will also expand to include other aspects of wellness.

I realised the importance of movement for movements sake during the lockdown when I started the “dance with me” sessions.
I had never actually thought of sharing this kind of movement training before this period. I realised that movement allows one to accept their bodies in a way that nothing else does. A first step towards “self love” !
The Wellness platform will begin from the perspective of movement and will expand to include all other aspects of wellness.
Start your free trial today! 😊
