I only started bharatanatyam at age 62 and assumed that my knee issues were age-related, but by reading the comments here, it looks like it is a common issue for dancers. Thank you for the exercise suggestions! (I practice and teach yogāsana and have found that my practice is much stronger since I've started the dance : )
Well, I would say it's mostly because of lack of strength in youngsters and age related in elders. For some it also could be genetic. But in all cases damage control could be done through right kind of exercise. Movement is medicine ☺️ I'm sure your dance benefitted largely from yoga practice and vice versa ☺️ it's lovely that you started learning an art form at 62! Never too old to learn something new...
@@PratibhaKini The older I get, the more important I realize it is to continually try new things. Our bodies (unless one suffers from a particular trauma) can acquire more strength and flexibility and "learn new tricks!". I've seen this in myself. : )

i so happy to find your page and your videos! i have lots of knee pain and i had to take medicins for longs months because i dont have fluid on my knees and i have to start slowing my dance and make my knees stronger with your videos! THANK YOU SO MUCH xoxo from Portugal
I religiously follow everything you do♥️ this video is helpful to the level of infinity! Knee pain is just like a shadow that doesn’t seem to leave but will try all of the exercises annnddd I am gonna post about my experience in a few days :) thank you so much for doing this exceptionallly well😘😘
I am humbled to know that you have been following the videos and can't tell you how happy I am to read this feedback! Thank you soo much.. Yes, please do let me know. I hope it helps! Happy dancing.. Cheers! :)
Really found the stretches useful as I didn't find few ofem anywhere else. Unique stretches to strengthen the knees. Great work and wishing you much continued success!!
Very useful ones. I have been doing some of these off and on. Most of them are doable by all people, Even I have been doing some of these off and on, and tried again. Seated leg lift is slightly difficult. Bridge pose scaled down - Both me and my wife have been doing off and on. Advanced ... well... well, I didn't want my hips broken, so did not try. Surprise of surprises, I could do Balanced Toe Taps reasonably well. (Of course not perfect). Chair pose with wall support ... Did it well........ Chair pose without wall support...... did that too...... Before I knew it, I was sitting on the floor :P . It's fun anyways. God bless
Haha! Such a well written feedback.. it's like a test report! Good job 👌 So happy all of you can perform it. Thank you 😊 yes, seated leg lift is something even I need to work on.. especially double leg lift without support.. as long as you see your knee working with these exercises, scaled down or advanced, we are good 😊 ty again for taking time to write an elaborate feedback here..
Hello akka... Very helpful.. I am trying all excercise am trying one by one... Very well explanation ... Thanks akka.. really appreciate ur enthusiasm... Our support will always there with u.. lots of love akka ♥️
@@PratibhaKini maam I am sorry for not joining your online classes as I am unable to afford for classes. Thank you very much. But I am practicing all your exercises. I got two children. It is difficult to do,as I didn't have any touch in bharatanatyam. Please make videos for women like me if you are able/have time to do. Thank you once again.
I try your exercises for each mentioned purpose.. was trying knee pain workout and leg strengthening ones for couple of weeks now, and it works well.. thank you so much !!🥰
Hi Prath!!! Yet another great video! The beauty of your videos are that it's so well structured. This is indeed very helpful. I would like to pitch in a suggestion if u don't mind. Massaging Myovedic oil and then hot and cold treatment has been really helpful in healing knee issues for me (suggested by my yoga teacher. Proven effective. Hence sharing) As always waiting for the next video already🙂
Hello there! Thanks Minu.. That would help a lot of them since it's been tried and tested.. I hope people read your comment 😊 thanks for sharing with all of us..Yes, stay tuned! 😊
@@prakashkini194 thanks uncle!! Pratibha's been an inspiration for me from so many years.. I'm trying to follow her footsteps😄 I've included each of the exercises in the videos that she put up into my daily yoga routine n its been truly beneficial!!
I have started to dance after a break, and after one month of practice my knees started to hurt. I’ve been following these exercises and I can really sense some relief. Thank you so much!
Hello ma'am, i am a breastfeeding mom of 1 year old kid. I joined bharatanatyam class after 10 months of delivery..ever since i have knee pain due to vitamin D deficiency.. for which i have adjusted my diet also suppliments..still i have mild knee pain during mandi adavu. Can i do this exercise daily? Please provide your suggestions..
It is preferable to rest the muscle for 1-2 days before working on it again. This holds good if the exercise is intense/rigorous. What is intense for you might not be intense for me. So if you think this is intense, do not do this everyday. If your legs/knees/muscles being worked upon during exercise are fatigued, it is recommended to rest them well before doing it again.
can you do a video of weekly fitness dance program for dancers? with all parts of the body and how many times is recommended train per week. it will be amazing for those who dont know for where to start (like me lol) and for thouse who wants to start fintess in general to keep the body in form and stronger because of back and knee pain! btw im already follow your videos
