A super like to a super teacher.

Though I had an aspiration to dance from a very early age, I never got an opportunity back then and had almost given up on that dream. I came to know about Mohana through a friend of mine and met her over online classes, highly skeptical of how this would turn out to be, especially given that I have never had any formal training before. I was pleasantly surprised with how each session was, and how effectively Mohana was able to handhold me even through remote classes. Mohana's knowledge, attention to detail and above all her passion towards the art form inspired me a lot in rekindling my child hood dream. The last 8 months have been transformative for me and Mohana has taken my confidence to a different level altogether. I am sure that there are quite a lot of people like me who aspired to dance but never got a chance to learn, and I would definitely recommend Mohana to all of you.

I have also been practicing yoga under Mohana for around 4 months, and am seeing visible changes in my body and mind. Though I was initially not very keen to learn yoga, the level of attention and depth with which Mohana trains made it quite impossible for me to not remain so. Not to mention, she is very communicative and receptive in all her sessions and will ensure that you are happy not just with the outcome but the overall experience as such. A super like to a super teacher.

Learn from the very best

I have known Mohana as my friend’s sister who has always shown immense passion performing Bharathanatyam and teaching little kids at home. After so many years I learned that she is teaching students online and in midst of this pandemic I really couldn’t have asked for more than a passionate teacher and a friend who can help me resuming my favorite art form. She is extremely jovial, friendly and would make the learning a fun full hour. I would highly recommend my teacher to all of you out there to have a splendid experience learning bharathanatyam from the bestest.
