JAMMU: Natrang introduced the art of Yoga amongst children in the Natrang Children Theatre Camp-2015. The demonstration and lecture classes were conducted by one of the highly qualified and competent Yoga exponent Dr. Neelam Khajuria at Natrang Studio Theatre.
Earlier Natrang Director Balwant Thakur while underling the importance of Yoga in theatre said that it is one of the subjects taught in all the professional theatre institutions across the country.
“Actors without the practice of yoga cannot explore their immense artistic abilities. It helps in the attainment of perfect equilibrium and harmony, promotes self- healing, removes negative blocks from the mind and toxins from the body, enhances personal power, increases self-awareness, helps in attention focus and concentration, especially important for children and reduces stress and tension in the physical body by activating the parasympathetic nervous system,” Balwant said.
Considering all these factors, he added, Natrang took the initiative and invited Dr. Neelam Khajuria to conduct a devised class for Natrang children packed with such exercises and movements which suit to the physical sensibilities of children.
The motive behind conducting an exclusive session with children was to attract them towards this fantastic tradition originated by Indians to see Indians healthy and disease free. The most noteworthy feature of the class was that participating children enjoyed and learnt every bit of it.
The children who participated in this workshop included Gopi Sharma, Sanchita Dubey, Akul Mahajan, Aadhya Gupta, Mihir Gujral, Sanket Bhagat, Soumya Kapur, Drish Dev Singh Sethi, Chander Pratap Singh, Ayn Bhola, Shreya Gupta, Sanyam Gupta, Siya Arora, Peher Bains, Navnoor Rai, Prisha Pant, Karan Singh, Khushi Jandial, Enakshi Pant, Yajur Mahajan, Rudra Kohli, Sahil Singh Anand, Swaranjali Sambyal, Aanandita Sethi, Sugandha Gupta, Arnav Anand, Sahil Anand, Jessica Sethi, Ojas Kapur, Saanvi Anand, Chirag Anand, Saksham Mahajan, Akshat Kohli, Riya Jandial, Arnav Mahajan, Adil Mahajan, Aniket K.
