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.

Schedule for the Course – Every Friday starting Jan 13th for 3 months – 12 sessions.
Timings – 5 pm to 6.30 pm.

There will be 5 – 10 children in the batch hence ensuring a healthy balance between positive group dynamics and individual attention. Complete involvement with activities for 1.5 hours with no break except perhaps water breaks when needed. Children need to carry their own water bottle.

Course Fees – Rs. 3500/- for the 12 session course, payable at the start of the course by cash, cheque or online payment. Online payment details:

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.

We will start the batch asap, based on the minimum number of students enrolled.

NaVaRaSa presents the second round of the popular BellyDance workshop with Anna Olkinuora!

Age Group – Above 12 only (for both batches)

You could come over and register with us at the venue or also welcome to do an online transfer (can send details on request). We have a max limit of 10 students per batch and will be on a FCFS (payment ) basis only. Registrations are open. Give us a call before coming over.

Also regarding classes in the Dussehra vacations, we’d like to consider the majority and plan classes accordingly. So if you are keen and have an issue with this, do send us your holiday plans.

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.

Hurry! Call us asap to register! This is an event for all in the family as well as singles who want to learn the technique of knitting and have some fun in the process!!

For the half hour lunch break…we could do a potluck or order in some sandwiches and make a picnic out of it!
