Super important life lesson : when the going gets hard, you go harder!!. . Something I learnt from my guru and I value so much, especially right now. You may fall sick, have your period or even feel like you’re dying. But if you can get up and walk, you should get up and dance. Unless you have a broken leg/ body part, there’s nothing stopping you from practice. There was simply no excuse to skip class and I remember all times I have gotten scolded for using fever as an excuse 🙈 The memories came in handy today when I had to push myself despite feeling super weak and feverish. I did my Margam 1.5 times. Nritta alone once and full Margam once. And I’m not exaggerating when I say that I felt stronger than ever. And I might have just danced my ailments away! (It’s remotely possible that I’m just high on endorphins right now?) Sometimes it’s inevitable that you fall sick during performances but the show always go on. Most dancers would have experienced this so we know we are capable of pushing through.. Try to extend the same grit to practice too 😊 . . . #dance #dancerlife #bharatanatyam #practice #important #margam #thoughts #nityasnritya #instagood #instahappy #indianclassicaldance #indianclassicaldancers

See random rope hanging from a tree. Expectation - I am going to do a headstand on this rope. This was reality. Left with rope marks and bruises on my legs. But got a cool picture to put on Instagram 😄 . . . #happiness #fail #swing #outdoor #nature #kauai #vacay #expectationvsreality #happy #lifewithvasan

New year, New Me? . It’s normal to make New Years resolutions (I’m guilty of it too) It’s good to set intentions, goals and want a fresh start on some things but at the same time, don’t set yourself up for disappointment. Have realistic goals. Or even plan to take a small step towards a larger goal. Most importantly, Enjoy the present and give it your best.. Know that we are human and sometimes things don’t go the way we want. So be kind to yourself. Instead of dreaming of what’s to come, be aware and live through now.. in the choices you make, words you use and people you affect. What is your top goal for 2019? 😊 . . . . #yoga #kauai #hawaii #outdoor #beach #lifewithvasan #love #kindness #loveandalliscoming #life #thoughts #2019 #newyear #goals #agenda #yogaeveryday #yogaoutdoor #beach

My own best of 2018 collage! It was so hard to choose a finite number of moments (best 9 became best 17) but these memories stood out the most to me. I want to shout out a big thanks and give a massive hug to alllllll the people who have made 2018 memorable and a year I can always look back at with warmth! Family that always unconditionally supports me, Guru without who I wouldn’t be who I am, Friends that add the right amount of spice to my life, students who have given me a new definition of responsibility, Dancer friends who have made this year so jolly and all of you on Instagram for following and encouraging my journey - thank you for being so awesome! ❤️ 2019 I am excited!. . 2018 Blog link is now up on my bio :-) https://nityanarasimhan.com/2018/12/31/2018-a-throwback/ . . . #2018 #wordpress #blog #throwback #memories #love #happiness #dance #life #art #growth #newyear #bharatanatyam

Happy new year everyone! ❤️ . . A good time to look back at goals that were set, resolutions that were invariably cheated, lessons learnt, hopefully also some growth, laughter and good memories. And prepare yourself to repeat the cycle :-) . . This past year has been kind to me and I loved how my 2018 shaped up. Wrote a blog reflecting on my lessons and thoughts about this past year. Link will be available on my bio soon. . . #bharatanatyam #dance #dancer #nityasnritya #2018 #2019 #grateful #happy #reflect #blog #wordpress #practicesaree #vacay #indianclassicaldance #narthanam #culture #india #indianculture #travel #wanderlust
