Strength and Conditioning
4 Seasons
The Strength and flexibility section will help condition your body and prepare you for the practice of Bharatanatyam. It is recommended that you do two modules of flexibility and strength every week in order to see progress and improvement. Each module addresses different areas of the body. It is recommended to vary the modules and also repeat. Always listen to your body and make sure you don't push yourself too far. It is ok to take breaks when needed and listen to your body
Please start with the beginner modules and work your way up to the more advanced modules so you stay safe and ensure your body does not suffer injury.
