When you get so used to alternating between sweaty clothes and costumes, you forget that there are other things that feel nice and you like to wear too. Like this madisar for example 💁🏻‍♀️ #nityamaami . . . #justsaying #candid #shy #bridesofinstagram #tambrahmwedding #wedding #southindian #meme #lifewithvasan #bride #southindianbride #makeup #culture #indian #funny #throwback #marriage #lifewithvasan #happy #love #memories #indianwedding #emotion

Cherish the moments you get with the ones you love, however small or sparse they maybe 😊 . . . . #love #lifewithvasan #family #time #happiness #cherish #relationship #happy #life #goals #couples

International Yoga Day 2019.. A late post of some lovely moments captured by @radhika_manoharan (after she finished her 108 surya namaskars) 😊 A big thanks once again to all the people who showed up and practiced alongside us. I am excited for the endless possibilities and growth of art and culture in the Bay Area and look forward to your continued support ♥️ . . . . . . . . #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #yogaday #internationalyogaday #celebrate #outdoor #nature #gazebo #sunnyvale #bayarea #yogaevents #iyengaryoga #practice #everyday #progress #fitgirls #fitfam #health #mind #body #happiness #internationalyogaday2019 #usa #usdancers #narthanam #yogagirl

Second half jathis are always fun to dance! I like that they are short, crisp and energizing somehow.. This one is from a jhampa tala varnam choreographed by @ramavaidyanathan akka.. Hopefully I will post a better version of the same jathi with more practice :-) . . . . . . #bharatanatyam #jati #jathi #nritta #choreography #dance #dancers #indianclassicaldance #art #artist #passion #nityasnritya #talentainment #indianclassicaldancers #kathak #odissi #india #culture #danceindia #classicaldance #practice @indianclassicaldancers @indiandanceonline @narthanam @culture_indian @bharatanatyam_devadassi_dancer @kalagrit

You can take the ponnu out of chennai, but you can never take the chennai out of this ponnu. Haven’t lived in chennai in over a decade now but you can see the lifelong effects 🤪 . . . #chennai #chennaiponnu #beingnittuwit #happiness #rowdybaby #madras #feelings #lifewithvasan #dai #tamil #tamilponnu #bayarea #sanfrancisco

🙃 . I have started to look the world a lot differently than I did in my early 20s.. My notions of happiness, success, goals, priorities and future have all changed drastically.. Not sure what is causing all this shift in mind and perspective but learning to let things be and enjoy where life is taking me. #workinprogress . . . . . #life #originality #perspective #try #success #health #yoga #uttanasana #practice #gym #fitgirls #fitfam #yogisofinstagram #motivation #shotoniphone #oldage #happiness #future #goals #aim

Yoga day every day 🧘‍♀️. . Official International Yoga Day coming up on June 21st!! Usually I am in Bangalore escaping the Bay Area summer, and celebrating International Yoga Day with my @raadhakalpa family. This year I will be in the Bay and I want to keep up with the tradition of celebrating yoga with like minded people.. Organizing a 108 Surya Namaskar (or your best effort) practice on June 21 at Sunnyvale in a gorgeous outdoor Gazebo. We can enjoy being outdoor without burning away. That’s what I call a win-win. If you’re around the South Bay, i would love for you to join me and start off your Friday with yoga. Registration form with all the details can be found in my bio.. Do share with friends and family 😊 . . . . Disclaimer : This is a sped up video from my home practice today and not a tutorial or meant for everybody! Stay safe, practice what you know 🙏 #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #yogaday #internationalyogaday #celebrate #outdoor #nature #gazebo #sunnyvale #bayarea #yogaevents #iyengaryoga #practice #everyday #progress #fitgirls #fitfam #health #mind #body

TRUTH 👇🏼. . Here’s the truth. I have had an Instagram account since before it became a fad. I’ve been posting stuff since before I even became a dancer. I like to take photos and I like to share with my friends, it was that simple. All my friends can vouch for this. . My account has been entirely organic in both its content and reach. Countless companies have reached out to me offering to help me gain more followers, more likes etc but I have always declined. Cos that’s not my agenda or purpose for this account. I make my own content to document my journey, thoughts and feelings.. It’s who I am. And I’ve had so many benefits from being on this platform. Met and connected with so many wonderful people. Off late I started to feel like I was getting sucked into the ugly side of this community. Where I felt the need to post even when I had nothing to share or say, worrying about layouts.. When numbers started mattering.. I’m glad I realized this and stepped back before I started projecting myself as someone I’m not. Its not been week of social media abstinence but i felt like sharing this now so here it is and that’s how i hope it will always be 🥰. .

Its been a good month focusing on training, practice and finding space for family.. Love having a routine and the fact that the sun sets at 8:30pm these days, whoohooooo! Life is good. But I still feel strangely unsettled every time I come on Instagram. Something feels fake and negative with the vibe here. I’ve decided to take time off from social media for atleast a week and clear my mind. contact me on WhatsApp friends/ via email for professional enquirers. Catch you on the flip side ✌🏼 . .
