What’s keeping me sane and safe with all the smog. THIS. And by that I partly mean shutting myself up inside the house. Spent my day in the city and the air was so bad! Went to a 2 hour super supported and calming Iyengar yoga class.. Only at the end of it did I realize how short of breath I was before and how much my lung capacity increased after. Incredibly grateful today for how privileged I am to have a home, a safe place to come to and a family that loves me. Even if it kinda abandoned me to go to India (got my eyes on you @sarveshkirthi) 🧐 Waiting for the rains! #californiafires #rain #draught #yoga #life #keepcalm #breathe #practice #home #safety #health #fitness
#adavuwithnitu #week7. . A clip from my class at Prayukti. This is what an actual adavu with nitu looks like. We had a terribly brutal class yday (courtesy me) and everyone came in sore today. Continuous adavus was a good cure to reset the system. The California fires have had a mental and physical impact on all of us in the Bay Area.. The smog is still strong and the air smells of smoke. So many people I know have been feeling sick. I feel significantly weaker with a dry itchy throat. Hope the families directly affected find the strength to get through this tough time.. 💖. . . . . #bharatanatyam #dance #dancer #nityasnritya #prayukti #adavu #basic #foundation #pillar #strength #practice #hardwork #indianclassicaldance #narthanam #studio #dancerlife #naatadavu #stamina #aramandi #india #dancersofindia #indianart #indianculture #culture #music #carnatic #practiceandalliscoming @culture_indian @narthanam @cultural_indian @kalagrit @indianclassicaldancers

I will forever be grateful to the eye and heart opening experience that I have embarked upon through the system of Iyengar Yoga. To say it has changed how I perceive myself as a person would be an understatement. I’m in awe of the wonderful and inspiring people I have met through this journey.. And I am excited to be able to contribute in my own small way to this amazing community that i now feel a part of.. . This year the non-profit Iyengar Yoga Association of Northern California (IYANC) is holding an online silent auction as part of the end-of-the-year fundraising campaign to raise money to support the mission of disseminating the teachings of BKS Iyengar. . This is a service auction with all services donated by Iyengar yogis. All proceeds will go to IYANC. In addition to getting a special service for yourself this is also a great gift-giving opportunity. Most, but not all services are located in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am donating a 1 hour Private indian classical dance session / 1.5 hour group class open to anybody with or without prior experience. Link to my auction is in my bio. It is for a good cause so please feel free to raise the bid. Thank you :-). . . . . #yoga #iyengar #iyengaryoga #iysf #iynaus #dance #bharatanatyam #india #indianclassical #art #culture #share #love #yogi #share #auction #service
The @sfedf auditions 2018 will be something I will always look back at fondly irrespective of the results. The performance space and ambience has a huge effect on my state of mind during a performance. This was one of those lovely venues - a massive palace set in the golden gate park overlooking the iconic bridge and bay.. A special mention to the organizers who were wonderful, sweet, respectful of artists, super organized and spot on with timing. So hard to find people who actually appreciate artist these days that I feel the need to point out how positive that made me feel. They made sure every artist had time to settle in, were given ample space and time to warm up, a moment of calm and encouragement before going on stage. Don’t know how I looked or danced but I thoroughly enjoyed performing here. All 4 times 😄😄 . . . . . #bharatanatyam #nityasnritya #classical #dance #indianclassicaldance #solo #nataraja #kauthuvam #beats #sfedf #edf #sf #bayareadancers #dancer #instadaily #video #dancevideo #culture #india #indian #indiandance #costume #tradition #ethnic
Picture from Life Of Pi taken by Anubhava @anubhavasj. Enjoyed these past few crazy months working on multiple projects and performances. Looking forward to some quite time, training, working on solo pieces and yoga practice. Maybe get some running in there. As everyone, including my husband is traveling and going on vacation, I’m planning a one week detox from social obligations. And hopefully catch up on sleep and reading. All set and excited for thanksgiving week :-) . . . . #bharatanatyam #dance #production #lifeofpi #yannmartel #stories #indianclassicaldance #instagood #outfit #instahappy #clothes #costumes #blackandwhite #duality #lines #dancer #nityasnritya #bayareadance #quiet #peace #yoga #practice #training #solo
“Education is not accumulation of facts but a simulation of thoughts - Swami Vivekananda” Read this today and felt like sharing it here. Every time we learn something, we should think and reflect on it. Specially in the creative field. The more we think and question, the deeper we can delve into the subject. . Wearing super soft, stretchy, affordable and high quality clothing from @senita. If you are one of those people like me who work out a lot and can’t always afford expensive clothing, your search ends here. They’re super super comfortable and a steal for the prices! I want to call these the “I could live in them jogger pants” and “I am going to live in them” tee 😄 . . . . #senita #brand #yoga #online #shop #pant #yogi #yogapants #clothes #whatiwore #instagood #fashion #fitfam #yogi #fitgirl #stretch #flex #stretching #ootd #outdoor
#adavuwithnitu #week6. . Today’s practice was a #sarukkal. These are sets of Adavus where we slide our feet.. There are many fun variations of sarukkal. Im sharing one of them. As always using @natyarambha for my practice - if you haven’t checked it out yet, you should 💃 . With the Indian festive season nearing an end (conveniently ignoring all the chocolates I’m gonna eat this American holiday season), it’s time for all of us to get back to our routines and burn those extra murukku and sweet calories. No better way than some continuous adavu practice. I didn’t eat too many sweets this year but I’ve been so caught up with late night rehearsals that I can’t wait to get back to my solo training and early morning routines starting Monday! Who is ready to do some non stop Adavus with me for the next 3 weeks of this series? :-) . . . #bharatanatyam #dance #dancer #nityasnritya #prayukti #adavu #basic #foundation #pillar #strength #practice #hardwork #indianclassicaldance #narthanam #studio #dancerlife #naatadavu #stamina #aramandi #india #dancersofindia #indianart #indianculture #culture #music #carnatic #practiceandalliscoming @culture_indian @narthanam @cultural_indian @kalagrit @indianclassicaldancers
Happy Diwali 😊. . Diwali is the festival of light. This Diwali I would like to imbibe more qualities of the festival into my life.. I hope to always choose the good over the evil.. whether through my words, actions, thoughts or the kind of people I surround myself with. To always choose knowledge over ignorance.. to learn from others, my experiences and mistakes.. ✨ Let the light within shine ✨ . . . . #light #diwali #deepavali #dance #dancer #nityasnritya #sfedf #nataraja #split #yoga #indianclassicaldance #indianclassicaldancer #instagood #instahappy #instadaily #happy
Battle of Religions - A small clip from the tech run of #lifeofpi. This is so relevant to how we are acting even today. There’s so much hate and discrimination. Glad we could use our art to spread the message of love and equality. Loved working with Ganesh and this entire team of talented people.. We were overwhelmed to see a fully packed auditorium yesterday. Thank you Bay Area community! ENJOYED performing and bringing this story alive. Still so hung over from the post show high! 💖 . . . . #bharatanatyam #dance #production #yannmartel #book #dancedrama #indianclassicaldance #pi #religion #love #postperformance #ensemble #high #happy #instagood #instahappy #video
A post cannot do justice to how I feel as this most packed, elating and humbling weekend comes to and end! I AM SO SO GRATEFUL to have worked with such beautiful dancers and even more beautiful humans.. ❤️ I wouldn’t have enjoyed myself half as much if not for you all. Thank you universe and thank you dance for giving me more opportunities than I deserve!! . . . . #weekend #memory #dance #dancer #bharatanatyam #love #friends #dancefam #bayarea #ethnicdance #lifeofpi #sfedf #happiness #joy #instagood #instahappy #dancefam #happy #life #blessed #thankful #grateful #indianclassicaldance
