Just the way you are

Just the way you are…

One of the many things I like doing, is dedicating songs to all the amazing people I meet,

 coming from the land of Bollywood films, been ‘filmi’ (local lingo for melodrama) comes naturally to me.

 I so want to paste a smiley wink after that sentence, I have to hold myself back and reprimand myself that this is not BBM or an sms.

So no dramatics.

 To come to the point, what if someone asks you to dedicate a song to yourself, 

which one would you choose and why?

 Write to me, I would love to know more about you and of course what better way to learn about music then from someone who knows theirs.

It would be tough for me to name just one, but for the moment let’s say I choose

‘Just the way you are’ originally sung by Billy Joel , the version I like is by Diana Krall .

It’s a song I dedicate to myself.
In our quest for physical perfection we sometimes lose ourselves, forgetting who we are and what makes us unique.

Wellness to me means revelling in our differences and aspiring for balance and harmony in our lives. Nurturing what makes us inherently who we are; and giving fuel to the goodness in all of us, on a daily basis.
This is an exercise in spiritual fitness, that helps us cope with the day to day pressures and stress.

If everything and everyone looked the same, the world would be such a boring place. Its all the differences in life that make living so interesting. Celebrate your uniqueness and rejoice in it.
Start with dedicating a song to yourself every week, experience the joy that music brings into our lives.

Take care of yourself; there is no one else like you.

Be well.

lyrics of the song

Zumba, Zumba, Zumba mere jaaneman…!! (Dec 2010)

An exhalted hi to all ! Fresh from a zumba certification, I have just one word to describe the feeling, “yipeeeeeeeeee’

Honestly I had no idea what I was getting into when I signed up for this one.

As fitness professionals we have to constantly stay on the top of all that's latest in the health and wellness field. 

So when a dear colleague spoke to me about a zumba certification workshop, I thought what’s the big deal,

 I already teach a cardio Latin workout and why do I need another certification of the same kind, but she insisted that it was different , and very much up my alley! So I went online and I signed up, not realizing that it was clashing with a family wedding. But there was no going back, the fees were paid and getting a refund was out of the question.

 So here I was with Zumba master trainer, ‘Hermann Melo’, absolutely fantastic teacher and a dancer with megaton energy levels! With some of the most scintillating Latin sounds you have ever heard.

What can I say about zumba, it will blow you away! You have to try it.

Dance for the Corporates

The most popular dance form in the classes I teach is ‘freestyle dancing on thumping music’.

Students just love it! Especially when its Bollywood music. ‘Pure joy’ are the two words I can use to describe what I see.

Its amazing, how the right kind of music can create such a feeling of abandonment and happiness. Total release of stress. Its like, for the time you are in the class, you forget everything and surrender yourself to the music , swaying to the rhythm of the beats and finding your own.

It’s a known scientific fact, that sound vibrations affect humans. Negative sounds have known to cause physical discomfort, and pleasant sounds, relax, soothe the body and mind; and others invigorate and stimulate.

In ancient times, there were dances for every season and every reason. Tribes would collect and gather and celebrate together with dance and music.

Ancient rituals to uplift the mood of the people, recreation, bonding, showcase physical prowess, networking and a esteem builder. Group dances were all about maintaining unity within the tribe, merging energies for the common good of the tribe.

Group dancing is a great exercise in stress busting and team building. It helps to reduce the harmful effects of cortisol (harmful stress hormone) and also relieves the body of lactic acid build up caused by muscle stiffness and tightness, long hours of sitting, extended traveling etc.

It releases endorphins (feel good hormones) and promotes a feeling of well being.

One looks forward to the day ahead, and brings about a fresh perspective to things, thereby promotes efficiency. You have to try it, to believe it! Its so much fun.

Its Marathon time! Run Mumbai Run!

With the Standard Chartered Marathon nearing, Mumbai is gearing up for this annual feat.

Every year its gets bigger and better.

The marathon attracts people from all strata, from the corporate yuppie to the neighborhood  dabbawala, some running for a cause and others for the thrill of it all.

The dream run of 6km, is like a event by itself, people from all walks of life, in unison, in costumes, with banners, shouting slogans, promoting various charities, school children, you name it and they are there.

It’s a must experience, I guarantee it.

I have been training a few students for the marathon these last few years, for the 21k. And they have done me proud. Not only have they finished it on time, but their timing keeps getting better every year.

I couldn’t emphasis more, the importance of a disciplined routine, constituting, regular practice, sleep and nutrition, the rest as they say is inevitable.

Ready, get set, GO!

Exotic pole dance workout

Pole Dancing is one of the latest international fitness trends, popular with women.
The Exotic pole dance workout is inspired from pole dance and other Burlesque dances.
It’s a fun workout for women, designed by a certified instructor.


A workout for every 'woman' of any age!
It’s all about feeling good about yourself irrespective of whether you’re a size zero or a size 20; it’s like having a ball at a rigorous workout, all about working hard and partying hard.


Urban women are all about that and more. They work long hours; look after homes and family, in the bargain totally neglecting themselves.
Starving for compliments and appreciation from their loved ones, hoping someone will acknowledge all the effort they put in.
This workout is all about taking charge of how you feel about yourself and not waiting around for the odd compliment thrown at you. Empowering oneself by feeling confident and good about oneself is what this workout stands for.


It’s a toning workout which improves your posture, works on your core, lower body and 'makes you feel taller where it matters'. Also learning that along with physical fitness we have to keep our spirits kicking and about. And not get lost in the routine of daily life.


The body without the inner spark is like a lifeless mannequin. Recognizing the power we have and harnessing it for the general good, keeping our awareness of the present moment, and thereby living and enjoying life to the fullest, is true empowerment.


From the general feedback I received, most women found the workout exhilarating and uplifting. They learnt to feel good about their bodies, as a result felt good about themselves.


I was humbled and most touched by the response. Every workshop has truly been a learning experience for me. All the women in the classes I have taught have contributed and helped me shape it to this level.

I would like to have as many women as possible to experience this unique fitness workshop.
