Wow that was beautifully explained. The importance of a healthy Araimandi is mostly ignored, this video is so helpful. I am definitely putting this into action and sharing it in my class as well.

[@snehamardikar8426]

Adding light ankle weights (500gm to 1kg) can give good results.

[@adhii8325]

Pls explain this...

[@snehamardikar8426]

@@adhii8325 if a dancer who wants to improve the hip muscle performance or wants to increase hip stamina to maintain best Aramandi , a dancer practising the exercises given by respected Dr. Rangarajan where there is lifting of the thighs against the gravity ( hip extension), if light weight is added to the ankles will cause the dancer to apply more force to lift the thigh or to extend n come back to normal by each hip one by one against the gravity. CAUTION - the dancer's lower leg should be stable ( knee n ankle of the moving thigh)
This kind of movement of muscle includes eccentric (muscle lengthening) n concentric ( muscle contracting). So bcoz of the applied light weights resistance to muscle movements increases which causes muscle tear. After muscle tear when dancer gives rest to those tired muscles n eats balanced diet, the teared muscles grow strong n bulk increases. This results in stronger hips or healthy hips!!!

[@breakfastonuranus]

@@snehamardikar8426 you mean fibres of muscle tearing?

[@snehamardikar8426]

@Kirti Actually the muscle fibres bifurcation and hence proliferation takes place when we apply more n more resistance ( weight) to muscle. That's muscle tear. It must be given rest time inbetween. That's how musles grow.. rest time may not be same for every body.

[@sunzs2092]

Thank you so much.a big fan of you Ma'am.can my nine year old daughter try these as well.she is learning Bharatanatyam

[@NatyamNrityam]

Absolutely- The younger they are, the better it is :)

[@sanskritisingh3763]

Do you teach bharatnatyam and kathak online too ma'am???

[@niddhiapoorva]

is araimandi same as soushtamvam in kuchipudi?

[@NatyamNrityam]

I am not aware of the Kuchipudi terminology and willl not comment. It is the same as mandala Sthana in natyasastra

[@montulidatta2907]

Hello ma'am , I am a big fan of your dance, and a regular follower of yours. I started practicing these exercises as I was a student of bharatnatyam few years back and unfortunately had to discontinue due to family issues. Now I want to resume it again under your guidance. I am from Kolkata. Please send me the name and contact details of your institute. Waiting for your reply

[@NatyamNrityam]

Thanks :) Please send email to [e-mail]

[@shreyamukherjee4921]

Mam, am 27 years now, I have been learning to dance for a few days but I can't force my legs, I can't even practic for a long lime, can I dance if I do these exercise? I mean, at this age will I dance??

[@NatyamNrityam]

Learning at a later age is not impossible- Might take a bit more time but with sincere commitment and effort, this is feasible :) With these exercises, you can strengthen your hips so that the alignment is good when you do Araimandi and it does not cause any injury to your form. However, you will have to strengthen all your main muscle groups (lower and upper body) to develop the strength to be able to dance longer. This is not it- Endurance and stamina/control play a big role also. Encourage you to take up Yoga. Good wishes :)

Namaskaram, I am a new learner of Bharathanatyam and I learn online, everything is going good but I am having difficulty in getting up from murmandi position🙁 please suggest me some tips and exercises to overcome it😭😭
