About

I see the body as the main storyteller in dance, but you can't tell a good story with a tired or stiff body. That's why, at Nrityakosh, I focus a lot on conditioning - it's not just a workout, it's about building a body that moves well, feels strong, and picks up on the little things that make dance special.

What We Do

• My "Stretch & Strength" online sessions are for anyone, not just dancers. If you want to feel less stuck in your chair or want to bring more ease to your movement, this is for you.
• Dancers, especially belly dancers, will notice sharper isolations, smoother transitions, and less chance of hurting yourself. Injury prevention for dancers is a big part of what we do.
• Not a dancer? No problem. If you sit at a desk all day and your back is killing you, or you just want to feel more at home in your body, you'll find the body alignment practice and core strength work really helpful.

How We Train

• We do a lot of bodyweight stuff. No fancy gym gear needed. Sometimes I’ll suggest using light wrist weights, but that’s up to you.
• Focused back, glute, and core work. Strong centers make for happy, pain-free backs.
• I give cues in simple language, like "imagine space between your shoulders and ears" - to help you actually feel what you’re doing.
• Mindful movement - not just endless reps, but understanding why we do each thing.

More Than Exercise

This is about giving your body the freedom to move, express, and feel. Whether you’re here for flexibility exercises for belly dance or just to stretch out after a long week, you’ll leave feeling more connected and alive.
