From 28.38 C$ /h

Body is the biggest asset one possess; A healthy body helps to have healthy mind. Join me for the stretching & strengthening class, aligning with the body & mind in a safe environment.
It is important to keep our muscles and tissues strong and fit for the betterment of our body and health. It is not just about the external aspect of the body but also looking into the internal parts of the body. These sessions would encourage you to find the balance within yourself and your body, through correct alignment, positioning and the engagement of right muscles along with weight shifts concentrating on the different parts of the body. With the flow of practice, we would be looking into understanding the body, its strengths and weaknesses and how to strengthen and stretch our body in a safer manner with our flow of breath increasing the mobility and agility. The practice would be a combination of yoga asana practice, animal flow of movements, cardios and breath work.
Classes would be on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Indian Classical Dance- Kathak Class for Beginners

32.17 C$ /h

Kathak is one of the Indian classical dance forms from North India. It is the only dance form that portrays both Hinduism and Islamic culture.
I will be teaching from the basics of the art form along with the theory aspects from Natyshastra and Abhinaya Darpana.
Understanding why we are doing each step is very important when we learn something new. And when someone asks, one should be able to explain what they are learning and why it is done in that particular manner. I would also be teaching them the incorporation of theoretical aspects to the practicals, teaching different bedas and hand gestures(mudras), and their usages as they progress in order to understand what they are doing practically. All of these notes would be written by the students in their book for their future reference and self-practice. The class becomes intricate and complicated as they move forward. In every class they would be learning something new no matter whether it is big or small.
Some days they might have homework or creative exercises so that it helps them to choreograph and also bring their imaginations through movements.
I would be starting with the basic posture and the basic footwork called as tatkar as it is the basic and crucial one for this art form. Then it progresses to Tihai's and then to even with the usage of Ang ie, The hands and eyes and the sway of the body.
Tatkar (Footwork)
Chakkars(Pirouettes)
Tihai’s (Rhythmical pattern repeated thrice as an ending)
Usage of Ang( Inclusion of hand movements to Tatkar)
Shloka (Angikam bhuvanam)

Class Flow
Namaskar
Warm-ups
Tatkar (Different speeds; Starting with the slow speed till the higher speed that they can do)
Tatkar with Ang( In different speeds with the eye and hand movements in taught)
Chakkars

Why is pelvic mobility important?
🔆Pelvic mobility is essential to meet the simplest daily functional needs such as walking or climbing stairs. The pelvis is the center of gravity and the largest bone complex in the human body. It is an insertion point for strong muscles: they form the muscular chains that have the pelvis as an anchor point.
The shortening or overtraining of some of them, due to sports postures or gestures, can generate an imbalance in the tensegrity system of the pelvic girdle and many local and adjacent problems, from muscle decompensations, pain, health problems at a visceral level and many others. aspects that are not taken into account 🧐
✅You have to ensure that your pelvis is in a neutral position, aligned at all times and in any activity you do so that your body does not adopt wrong postures by default and avoid having problems with its mobility and consequently other derived dysfunctions, such as hernias, lower back pain. , pelvic floor problems, etc.
📌The program aims to strengthen, stretch and put into tension the muscle chains and the analytical work of the abductor, adductor, extensor and pelvitrochanter complex. All of these myofascial elements determine the pelvic position and, in doing so, create or limit the freedom of the pelvis, having repercussions on the lower and upper limbs.
🤗 Of course we are not going to leave aside the rest of the body❗️❗️😅
The training approach will be individualized, after a general and analytical body evaluation.
Enough of so many aches and pains, release the superficial and deep fascia and revitalize your energy center. 🥰

Inneris is yoga and presence for women in transition: stages of change where the old no longer sustains and the new is still taking shape. Here, we don't train "more." We return to the body.
The sessions are gentle, precise, and tailored to your current situation. We work to regulate stress, restore stable energy, improve sleep, and navigate change with clarity, without forcing anything.

In each class we combine:

Conscious movement (adapted asana: mobility, functional strength and balance)
Guided breathing (simple pranayama to calm and center)
Mindfulness / meditation (presence, focus and silence)
Integrative closing (deep relaxation, visualization or brief ritual)
It's not about fitness or performance. It's an embodied practice to sustain a vital threshold with respect for your own rhythm.
For whom: women in transition (grief, moving, breakup, career change, motherhood, perimenopause/menopause, restarts).
Level: beginner to advanced (real adaptation).
Format: online 1:1.
