About Astha
I'm a cross-disciplinary artist with 15+ years of indulgence with Kathak. It’s been my medium for Self-Discovery and a rewarding mirror that highlights where I need work as I persistently engage to deepen my practice.
As a committed student of and for life - I draw heavily from knowledge-ethos like Yoga, Navarasa Exploration, Pranic Healing, Critical Thinking and engage with the benefits of building Emotional and Physical Resilience on any path of life.
My decade-long stint as a Designer of Experience and Branding and a sincere spiritual inquiry has informed me of the gap between our desires, our intentions and the work it takes to arrive at the moment.
Primarily designed for women, as my method draws from my personal experience as much as it does from Established Ancient Schools of Thought - I wish to share the medicine, with anyone who this calls out to - that has developed over time and divine providence - to cure me of the suffering, disease and blocks that hold me back and enable me to realize the essence of my true potential and caliber.
A path for communal benefit - and for my personal fulfillment - it's equally both.

What Freedom By Kathak is not:
- A session in movement that you don't take anything back from.
- A session in meditation, that works only for the duration of the session.
- A place to prove ourselves to others and keep chasing validation.
WHAT FREEDOM BY KATHAK IS:
1. A Classical Art-form repurposed as a cathartic practice.
2. A commitment to a path of self-discovery, healing and balance.
3. A way to communicate with our own intuition.
4. A practice to bring grace, finesse, technique in class and in life.
5. Admission to a circle of people learning to commit to their authentic voice and style.
6. A set of tools that teaches emotional release, resilience, and nervous system regulation.
7. A Living, Intuitive and Evolving Practice that works with breath, rhythm, movement and stillness.
8. Liberal accumulation of cathartic tools from Pranic Healing, Yoga, Navarasa Exploration to step into one's power.

Attending these sessions feels like there's so much to understand about life and human nature... Just communicating about daily struggles be it about any kind of a relationship will make you realise a lot of good and bad things that a person does or is doing...I personally have attended only 1 session but it was honestly worth attending. Speaking to Astha about anything and everything will make you feel better and lighter at heart. Keep up the good work...There's so much to understand about life... My persal advice would be please do attend her sessions its worth the time and energy.
I had the chance to learn Kathak from Astha Ma'am, and it has been a wonderful experience. She is a beautiful soul, a great teacher, a thoughtful philosopher, and one of the coolest personalities I know. Her way of teaching always attracts students because she knows how to teach Kathak in today's contemporary world while respecting all the traditions and rules of this classical dance form. Most people judge art only by skill, but Astha Ma'am teaches that art is also about the mind, the soul, and the way we think. Thank you so much, Astha Ma'am.
Astha is not just a dance teacher or a kathak teacher, but a bonafide facilitator who helps you develop self-awareness, practice regular release of emotion preventing disease, align with one’s intuition resulting in a communicable positive impact.
Her work is holistic and draws from different knowledge systems and practices - Pranic Healing, Navarasa Saadhana, Kathak, Yoga and Intuitive Movement - not just Kathak - and that’s what makes her sessions such a wholesome wellness experience.
I think her teaching psychology and method is unique but it works for both beginners and advanced learners as she is very hands on with all her learners from the get go.
My experience of my sessions with Astha is one of Emotional enquiry through movement and discipline. Her methods and techniques, and her investment and seriousness with her students has helped shaped my understanding of my own body in a much more embodied and meaningful manner.
I would recommend her to one and all - she’s worth investing your time and energy into.View more recommendations
