Kumari Devayani is not only a renowned Bharata Natyam dancer but also an excellent instructor. I have been under her tutelage for 2 years and saw how much care she takes in imparting the finest nuances of the dance form, both in the pure dance and in the expressive dance. Devayani has fulfilled my long cherished dream to discover the magic of Bharata Natyam.
What strikes me at Padma Shri Devayani Dance Academy is not only the level of professionalism and excellence but the attention and care given to everyone, whether in personal training classes or group classes. Devayani herself conducts all the classes.

I've been enrolling with Devayani for personal training classes in Yoga and Fitness at her studio in Friends Colony for over 3 months. I have benefited greatly from these classes, not just in terms of improving my overall fitness levels but also mental strength. My body and mind feel stronger which helps me to cope with daily stress better. I find the studio very peaceful and the surrounding area is beautiful, just coming for class every week makes me feel at peace. Devayani, as an instructor, is thorough and very particular about not causing any injuries. I do a proper warm up and cool down with her and have never suffered even the slightest discomfort. All these factors motivate me to be regular and on time for every class. I would recommend her classes for anyone of any age with any level of fitness because she finds a routine that suits you.
