Open House with Arts for the Aging 

What is adaptive Bharatanatyam?!

On April 8th, as part of Arts for the Aging Open House, I will demonstrate how I adapt some aspects of Bharatanatyam for a variety of mobilities. I will also share how the regular practice of Bharatanatyam might enable and sustain healthy plasticity!

I look forward to sharing insights from the session. 

A supporter had this to say about the event:
Better than reading old Hazrat Inayat Khan books about how dance is important for our physical, mental, and spiritual wellness, is going to a Sloka Iyengar event and learning how to actually do it. I know Dr. Iyengar personally and can attest that Dr. Iyengar is the real deal, and it's such a rare opportunity to learn from someone who is both a gifted neuroscientist and a master of an ancient tradition of expression and instruction through dance. Check it out!

About 24 people joined the session; below are some testimonials:

• "The specificity of the hand gestures helped with my arthritis pain."
• "Thank you so much, Sloka, for such an engaging and enriching session!"
• "How marvelous you are, and it was so beautiful, and my hands felt tight too but loved it!"
• "I loved learning the bird gesture - 🙏 Sloka, your hands are exquisite."
• "I enjoyed joining in on the dance and learning the different gestures.  You did a really wonderful job of making the session interactive and stimulating.  And you inspired me to engage in more science outreach with older adult communities."
