A big thank you to everyone who attended and supported our Kathak dance performance - a reflection on dance, yoga, healing and community. I know everyone felt touched by and really appreciated Vipul Bhatti’s heartfelt performance.

A quote from BKS Iyengar’s book The Tree of Yoga expresses this exploration beautifully.

The yogi and the artist alike need to respect the body. Without shape and form, without grace and without strength, one can neither be a yogi or a dancer. If you are an artist, remember that whatever themes you are presenting in your artistic expression, they all depend on the internal experiences and actions with which a yogi also works. If as an artist you also practice yoga - if you are in touch with the inner levels of your being - you will develop a vast range of expression and your art will become what is know as ‘satyam, sivam sundaram’, true, auspicious and beautiful.

Thank you also to everyone who generously donated money - we were able to raise £350 for Deptford’s 999 Club working with people facing homelessness. (** Update With some extra donations the final total was £400!)
