LIVE Weekly Classes Where the Body Settles and Softens
Connect with nature’s rhythms
Rooted in the grounded lineage of Bharatanatyam and expanded through contemporary somatic knowing, this space invites you to remember your body as a site of power, intuition, and ancient memory. Step into practices that nourish, restore, and reconnect you to the earth within.
About
Earth-Body Praxis grows out of a lifelong dedication to embodied learning, integrative movement, and holistic well-being. With over a decade of experience as a Bharatanatyam practitioner and researcher, I bring a cross-cultural, interdisciplinary understanding of the body to my teaching.
Meet the Instructor
Sasha Ashwini
Professional Dance Artist & InstructorEarth-Body Praxis is led by a Bharatanatyam practitioner and contemporary dance artist whose work is rooted in lineage, lived experience, and embodied inquiry.
Her artistic lineage includes her paternal grandfather, Perumal Singamuthu, a Carnatic musician from Tanjore, Tamil Nadu, whose devotion to the traditional arts formed an early foundation for artistic practice and performance. She remains a disciple of the acclaimed Bharatanatyam danseuse Rama Vaidyanathan, whose artistry is widely regarded for its spiritual depth and ability to bridge tradition with transcendent experience.
She holds an MFA in Dance and a BSc in Behavioural Neuroscience, and her teaching weaves classical form, contemporary somatic practice, and seasonal attunement. Through Earth-Body Praxis, she offers a grounded, respectful pathway into embodied wisdom—supporting regulation, ritual rhythm, and the remembering of the divine feminine through the body.
A ritual of grounding
Join me for a winter-focused practice rooted in grounding, body conditioning, and mudra work. Together we’ll cultivate warmth, stability, and sensory awareness through slow, intentional movement. What you’ll need: a yoga mat, one yoga block, a sturdy chair, and a pair of socks. A Zoom link will be sent one hour before class. .
