Yoga

Strength, stillness, and self-awareness.

The true essence of Yoga lies in elevating the life force within the individual. This is achieved through a carefully structured series of physical and mental exercises. At the physical level, students are taught various yoga postures (asanas) to maintain a healthy body. At the mental level, students are introduced to and trained in meditation as a practice for mental clarity and inner calm.

Classical Dance — Bharatanatyam

A living tradition, taught twice a week.

India has a rich and centuries-old tradition of fine arts, classical music, and dance. Bharatanatyam is one of the most celebrated classical and traditional dance forms of India, with its origins in the Balasaraswati tradition — a refined expression of Natya Yoga. Classes give students the opportunity to connect with India's cultural heritage and develop grace, discipline, and artistic expression.
