Come stay with us in the lap of nature for one month and cleanse yourself of all the aggravated doshas and stresses of modern-day city life.

This Odissi dance workshop is a unique, compact experience of our philosophy of “simple living, high thinking” as a way of life.

Students engage in the rigorous daily schedule following a 4-6 hours a day class schedule. Along with basic Odissi training, students according to the Natyasala Method, will also learn western body conditioning routines and techniques, Yoga, Kalaripayattu, and Natyashastra. Students study movement from ancient scriptures on classical dance like the Abhinaya Darpana and Natyashastra. They will be taught basic tala-theory to create complex rhythmic paragraphs as well as create their own choreography based on the movement vocabulary they learn.

The course culminates in an informal presentation wherein the students will apply every aspect of their training to perform a short piece of choreography for friends and family.
