Shoulder strengthening exercises are very much required for all dancers as well as all sportsman. Nice tips. Ha....looks easy but to continue without dropping the shoulders is really a big challenge ! 😂

Namaste! I've been performing these exercises for a while now. I take a 30 sec break after the exercise and do 1 set of Suryanamaskar (1 rep of each leg). I have observed that this instantly relieves the arm pain from the exercise. Thanks again for the amazing arm workout, Pratibha ma'am.

Always thought filming indoors with a smartphone would be challenging !! Apparently not.....when you have a born for the camera person in front of it nobody notices anything else....another great video with almost no re-takes 👍🏻😃

Hi prath!!! Truly useful video As bharatanatyam dancers we focus more on leg strengthening This video helps in emphasizing hand strength! Will definitely include this in my routine By the way that's a lot of research you've done on the lactic acid - glucose theory.. So proud of u n I truly appreciate the amount of time u've spent in putting it together..

Thanks , I will do it regularly

Hello akka... Thanks for it... I will start doing it so that I will be not making any reasons while doing alarippu 😝 lots of love akka

Very useful video akka and will follow these to improve my dance skills thanks for the video akka keep going 😊

Nice ones. These are essential for my cycling. Our handle gives kicks on every bump on the road. We need strong shoulders, else we will have shoulder pain. I could do shoulder flossing with arms 3 ft apart. Bulldog Shoulder Tap with little difficulty not to twist the hips, but within reasonable limits. Rotator cuff warmup is doable. Plank to down dog... I landed with my nose to the ground, right on to Annamma's legs. 🙏 Arm rotation I could do all five variations to 3 minutes ( I cheated for 8 seconds after 4 variations - dropped down and continued with Arm facing back 🙈🙈🙈) Nice tips about Nutrition, Breathing, hydration. Very much useful for my cycling as well.

this is undoubtedly a commendable initiative for sharing practical and useful tips to budding as well as successful performing artistes. Hope more experienced artistes come forward to take up such initiatives, like Pratibha ji. All the best to her

wow, yesterday was the first time I did it and with every exercise of arm follow up I had to rest in between. Today no resting! I did a trick though. I did ujjaayi breathing with it and it was much easier. 😃

Keep the Follow Along Routines coming !! Very useful tips also. Thank you 😃👍🏻

It was really helpful... and awesome... Thank you

I did this today I followed it the same way... again thank you ....as i say always you are awesome good day..❤❤

Hi I am kavya. I am 13 and I have completed 7 years of learning bharatanatyam but I really struggle keeping my hands straight during the whole item. The vedio was really helpful especially I have my regular dance class yearly exams next week

Just found your channel. I suffered from compound wrist fractures about a 6 months back and surprisingly have been struggling with range of motion and strength in my shoulder ever since(maybe because I'm extra scared about lifting anything with my broken arm). This video is phenomenal. Will add these exercises to my physio routine. Thank you so much! :)

Sooo Amazing 😍 I just tried it out for the first time and it felt soo good after finishing. Even though my hands were trembling through half way, I feel very satisfied. Will definitely try it out again. Thank you very much 💝😘❤️

It really helped me

Thank you soo much because I always had pain, it became soooo much easier

Lovely Pratiba I m not a dancer I m fitness enthusiasts I love all your videos thanks for making for all of us

Om Namaha Shivaaya I love your content so much! Many many thanks🙏🙏🙏

It would be great if the subtitles are little below or up, because in some exercises the positioning of legs aren't visible. Thank you for this superb video

I managed to do until number 4, then I kept pausing and I love when you help me. I really have seen the improvement and I thank you for that! I am the baby in the picture.

Thank you so much for this routine !! Keep the gud stuff rolling 😃👍🏻

Hello. I'm from Mauritius. Since 2 weeks I'm following all your sessions. Really interesting. I didn't dance for 10 years. Was dancing since childhood. Then stopped after marriage. I started again. Do you think will be able to make it. I have started to practice your workouts. Start helping. Finding some improvements on stiffness.
