Course Fee: Rs. 3900/- Payable at the start of the course by cash/cheque or online bank transfer (Details below). Please note that it is a one time payment since we are committing to the entire period from our side. In exceptions, for students (in school/college), we will work with a 60% advance payment + 40% by a post dated cheque for the next month.
Logistics: We will provide Djembes for students who dont own one already. Ashok will technically guide students when they purchase a Djembe. We will have a max class cut off of 15 students.
Demo/trial classes are not encouraged since it is not easy to appreciate what it takes in just one class. But if someone wants to figure out logistics of time/distance for travel, etc, they can attend the first class at a payment of Rs. 200/- and decide to register. This will be possible if we have not crossed the max limit of registrations and/or Djembes are available.

Level 1 and 2 are a 24 session (approximately 3 months) course, which will cover technique and choreography pertaining to that level. A typical session will consist of warm ups, technique and work on choreography. Hence attending all sessions on time is very important.
We have also done choreography and technique building with props like veils for level 1 and 2 based on the time available and group dynamics. Deserving students get to participate in shows that fall into the timeframe of the course or later too based on the logistics.
Course Fees – Level 1 – Rs. 3900/- payable in full at the start of the course by cash/cheque or online transaction (details below).

Dress code – Jeans Not allowed. Tights/harems/tracks etc can be used. Tops need to be well fitting. Students can carry a change of clothes and change at the studio by coming in 10 mins earlier.
Pls note – Demo/trial classes/watching a class before deciding/etc are not encouraged, since as professionals we believe that one does not get the big picture in one class and it takes a while (3 months min) to appreciate any art even for its basics. However in exceptions where the student needs to check logistics of distance/time to travel class and back etc, if the first session of the workshop is not full, we can offer a trial class where the student participates by paying a nominal fee of Rs. 200/- which will be adjusted in the regular fees if the student joins the workshop. The possibility of this will depend on how full the class is and cannot be promised in advance.

New in Bharatanatyam @ NaVaRaSa, Koramangala
October 27, 2011 at 7:50 am | Posted in Art | Leave a commentTags: Bangalore, bharatanatyam, bharatanatyam classes in koramangala 1st block, kalakshetra style bharatanatyam classes, Koramangala, koramangala 1st block, ST bed Layout
We are starting new batches in Bharatanatyam as follows:
Beginner’s level
Tuesdays and Thursdays: 5 pm to 6 pm
Age group – Above 6 years of age
This will be a group which practices Adavus and progresses further. Attention will be given to those who have learnt some Bharatanatyam before and help them progress faster. But this will be decided by the Guru and will be irrespective of the number of years the student has learnt, since the Guru is extremely particular that the basics are strong before progressing to items. We have seen in many cases that number of years learnt does not necessarily translate into perfection in performance.
We will decide on extending the classes for students who have learnt more/different age groups and may need a different batch, based on interaction.
Profile of Guru Sri Nanthakumar – http://navarasa.co.in/partners/nanthakumar-d-k/
Kindly contact 9741290592 or 8971455021 for other details.
We will start the batch asap, based on the minimum number of students enrolled.

Introducing Yoga @ NaVaRaSa, Koramangala
September 21, 2011 at 6:33 pm | Posted in Art | Leave a commentTags: Bangalore, Koramangala, koramangala 1st block, meditation, pranayama, vinyasa yoga, yoga, yoga classes in koramangala
A brief description about the classes planned
Vinyasa yoga focuses on breath-syncronised movement, which means that during the class the asanas are preformed in a flow from one to another with an inhalation or exhalation. This technique allows the smooth transition from one pose to another making it almost dance like.
The class starts with a few slow stretches to focus the mind and warm up the body, followed by surya namaskar and a series of standing, sitting, supine and prone asanas. Some times arm balances are included especially in the more advanced classes. The series change a bit from week to week.
The class ends with either pranayama or meditation and relaxation.
Vinyasa yoga is very diverse and adaptable which helps the teacher’s personality to come through in the practice. It is suitable to all ages and abilities as different variations can be given on any asana to make it suitable for the student’s needs.
About Anna’s yoga experience:
She has been practicing yoga since 2003 and teaching it as a trainee teacher since 2006 and got her teacher training done in 2009 in Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana near Bangalore (their website is svyasa.org). The training was very traditional including asanas, pranayama, meditation and philosophy.
We plan to have classes on Mon, Tues and Fri from 6 to 7 pm. Interested folks kindly call 9741290592 for details and discussion. We will start the batches based on the interest levels and demand for the same.
