X FromTamilNadu,toallaroundthe world, people have been moving to the rhythm of Bharatanatyam throughout the ages. Discover the benefits of this cornerstone of Indian culture.

“Bharatanatyam is a great exercise for the eyes!” Drishti Bheda, the eye movements that form part of this dance, stimulate the blood vessels and eye muscles. There is also a link between vision and concentration. Moving your eyes improves
your brain capacity.
2) Vitality in the body
Aramandi is a basic posture with plenty
of benefits. This half-sitting position tones the body’s muscles, is a good workout for
the knees, and improves bone density. The movement of the arms – which are bent, with the hands on the hips, then stretched to the sides – increases flexibility while boosting the breathing system.

with an open left hand and the left foot on the ground respectively. It promotes blood circulation, exercises the
cardiovascular muscles and prevents hypertension. That’s
why Bharatanatyam was already THE trendy cardio workout
in 300 BC!
