It’s not about who's older or younger, but about everyone finding their own way. Every person here is a pathfinder, and this is our shared space to figure things out together. ### How We Learn Process over product - that’s my thing. The actual making, the curiosity, the mistakes, all of that matters more than just getting something ‘right’. Sometimes we literally throw the plan out and follow the energy in the room. Mixed ages, mixed skills - that’s what makes this place tick. ### What You’ll Find Here - Pottery & clay sessions for anyone who likes hands-on work (yes, it’s super therapeutic) - Integrated arts for kids, where they lead the way - Sustainable art practices - think natural colours, zero-waste, making paper from pulp - Classical dance training in Bharatanatyam, with batches for both kids and grownups - Carnatic music instruments like mridangam, flute, vocals, and violin - Kalaripayattu (Kerala martial art) and yoga, especially for kids ### Our Space I run everything on a leafy, open-air rooftop in Jayanagar. Plants everywhere, lots of sunlight, and dedicated spots for each activity. It’s not fancy, but it’s peaceful and helps everyone relax into their creative side. ### How You Join You can come for a month just to try things. If you want to go deeper, three months really helps you settle in. Either way, you’re joining a bunch of us who care about learning together. Pranams to all who walk in! ## Highlights Browse through Svadhyaya's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/svadhyayalearningspace/creative-performing-arts/featured) - ![Welcome to our rooftop learning space.

That question hit me hard. Watching her explore, I realized we all need a space to learn together, not just follow rules. Svadhyaya grew out of that moment—here, adults and kids can ask, try, mess up, and figure things out, side by side. ### My work - **Workshops & Classes for All Ages**: We run Kalaripayattu classes for kids, bouldering, pottery, art, STEM workshops for families, and more. - **Our Learning Philosophy**: We put curiosity and exploration above technique or perfection. Learning is a joyful mess, not a race. - **Grow Together, Side by Side**: This space is for adults and kids to learn, connect, and support each other in Jayanagar, Bengaluru. - **Teaching with Dialogue**: If someone resists, we listen and adapt. It’s about guidance, not just giving answers. ## More services from Svadhyaya - [Wellness & Life Coaching](https://mytribe.in/svadhyayalearningspace/wellness-life-coaching) · ₹350-1,500 per person (estimate) - [Kalaripayattu Classes](https://mytribe.in/svadhyayalearningspace/kalaripayattu-classes) · ₹4,000-4,800 per month (estimate) - [Kids' Workshops & Camps](https://mytribe.in/svadhyayalearningspace/kids-workshops-camps) · ₹600-7,500 per child (estimate) - [Bouldering & Rock Climbing](https://mytribe.in/svadhyayalearningspace/bouldering-rock-climbing) · ₹3,800-4,200 per month (estimate) ## Experts similar to Svadhyaya on mytribe - [Art Classes & Workshops by Scribble Space](https://mytribe.in/scribblespace.in/art-classes-workshops) · ₹2,500-4,200 per month (estimate) · House of Tamariki Preschool, Indiranagar - [Kids' Yoga & Wellness Programs by Nitesh Batra](https://mytribe.in/ashtangayogasadhna/kids-yoga-wellness-programs) · ₹1,800-2,500 per month (estimate) · Ashtanga Yoga Sadhna - Yoga for Everyone - [Performing Arts Workshops & Classes by Vyoma Artspace](https://mytribe.in/vyomaspace/performing-arts-workshops-classes) · ₹3,000-4,500 per month (estimate) · Vyoma Artspace and Studio Theatre - [Art Classes and Workshops by Art Attic](https://mytribe.in/art.attica/art-classes-and-workshops) · ₹500-1,500 per person (estimate) · Bengaluru - [Performing Arts Education (Music & Dance) by Ramana Maharshi Centre for Learning](https://mytribe.in/ramanacentrebengaluru/performing-arts-education-music-dance) · ₹1,500-4,500 per course (estimate) · Ramana Maharshi Centre for Learning - [Kids' Art Programs by Shades Creative Learning](https://mytribe.in/shadescreativelearning/kids-art-programs) · ₹350-900 per session (estimate) · Shades Creative Learning - [Craft Workshops for Adults & Groups by Little Creatives Club](https://mytribe.in/little_creatives_club/kids-art-classes-workshops) · Bengaluru - [Bharatanatyam Classes by Sreejaya’s School of Classical Dance](https://mytribe.in/sreejayas-school-of-classical-dance/bharatanatyam-classes) · ₹1,700-4,200 per month (estimate) · SSCD - Sreejaya's School Of Classical Dance HSR Layout - Bharatnatyam Dance classes in HSR Layout ## Book To book Svadhyaya, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Creative%20%26%20Performing%20Arts%20by%20Svadhyaya.)
