How far can you go?

The Shape of Things, a slice-of-life play, is based on a simple question we often ask ourselves: How far can one go? Directed by Rohan Trivedi, the narrative asks this question in an artistic context, questioning the limits of creative expression, being inspired by another person's ideas, and the medium becoming the prison.

Rhythm yoga just elevates my mood," says Nirmala Govindarajan, a trainer and a writer. Govindarajan learned the forms and rigours of yoga during the pandemic. After learning belly dancing, she integrated elements of belly dancing in her yoga routine. "It improves flexibility, helps your body look shapely and toned, and the lifts in the asanas become much smoother," she shares. Her rhythm yoga routine starts with a belly dance session, moves into the yoga asanas, and ends with pranayama.

Recommended by: Shuchi Sharma Chaturvedi "Nirmala's yoga lessons have been life-changing. I had been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, and ever since I participated in her yoga course and, every single day began practicing the invigorating syllabus she left me with, my fatigue, brain fog, and other daily symptoms have lost their way."
