Bhavna Mahajan

State President, Uttar Pradesh Mental Health Council

- Bhavna chose dance as her form of expression, beginning with Bharatnatyam at an early age of 8. Teaching varied forms of dancing, she viewed dance as a medium of expression for her feelings and thoughts. This led her to explore the world of somatic arts, where she witnessed how dance made it easier for people to express their hidden, suppressed emotions, which in turn helped them enhance and enrich their lives. According to Bhavna, “Movement enriches lives with enhanced body awareness, emotional release, thus integrating the mind toward a fuller experience of life. Dance is the language of communication, that helps people to create wellbeing in their overall lives.”
