According to leading media reports, Indian Artiste Avantika Kochar spoke about the challenges and delights of merging traditional Indian and western dance forms along with yoga to create a new form of expression. She is quoted as having said that her research during her Master’s degree made her realise how Ashtanga yoga could be a supplementary form of training for a professional ballet dancer. This prompted her to find out a way to co-relate ballet dancing with Ashtanga yoga. This will surely be an interesting take on the ancient practice of yoga merging with traditional dance forms.
