|
| Kathak |
Kathak, which originated in northern India, represents one of the eight forms of Indian classical dance. The name is derived from the Sanskrit word ''katha'' meaning story. Thus, “kathaka” means the one who tells a story.
Kathak focuses more on the footwork of the dancer. The movements are skillfully controlled and performed straight-legged, by dancers wearing ankle bells known as “ghunghroo”. The costumes and themes of Kathak are often similar to those in Mughal miniature paintings. Historically, dancers used to perform in village squares and temple courtyards across the country, unfolding mythological and moral tales from the ancient scriptures. They would support their recitals with hand gestures and facial expressions.
The Kathak dance bells are different from those used in other Indian classical dance style, as they are not affixed to a pad or strip of leather. Rather, they are individually woven along a thick string. Costumes play a big part in this style of dance, with women traditionally wearing saris – although a lehenga-choli is also worn by women dancers with an optional odhni or veil. Men in the classical dance of Kathak go bare-chested and wear a dhoti below the waist, which is usually tied in the Bengali style. The dhoti is tied with many pleats and a fan finish is given to one of the ends.

| Yoga for Joy & Tranquility |
We feel the body, we feel the mind, we feel the breath. But we do not have that feeling that helps to realise all three things. Body is an accumulation of food, and mind is the heap of impressions that we have taken in from various societies and environments. Just as we can drop the weight and release tension from the body through different types of Yogic asanas, sun salutations, etc. -- similarly we can remove impressions of the mind through fast breathing, Om chanting, sun salutations, dead body, pranayamas, etc. in the class and emerge feeling fresh, happy, joyful, peaceful, relaxed like a little child.
