Accoring to Placer.ai trends, around this time gym visits are up by 32% in 2023 vs 2022. In person fitness is definitely making a comeback. There are many newbies coming out as well realizing they were not making their health a priority. There's just something irreplaceable about the in-person dance/fitness experience. And after years of isolation and virtual life, the craving for real-world interaction is strong. For me personally, my in person classes have grown but so has the virtual experience. People are not exactly ditching their home studio set ups, but having both platforms as an option to exercise is useful. So let's not keep talking about it and let's take action. I teach on Saturday's both in person and virtual and other Masala Bhangra ambassadors have their own schedules. See what works for you! 

Many of you know that I fast every year for 5 days straight with no food or water. This is inspired by the lifestyle of how my Mom lives which is through the Jain life. For the first time EVER, Asia Society is doing an event on the life of a Jain. The event is on Saturday, March 25th from 2pm-4pm. The immersive event will include storytelling, art, games, meditation and food. It is a family oriented event and it would be great to see you there.

We're also planning ahead for Dance Parade NYC and WE WOULD love to have you join us! Our Masala Bhangra float will parade down 5th Avenue on Saturday, May 20th, 2023. It's the biggest dance party in NYC, with 10,000 dancers, DJs, and live bands lighting up the city! This event is open to everyone, regardless of experience. You must register to participate. Make sure to choose the Individual option and enter Masala Bhangra team! The day will be full of dance and lots of energy! Register here: https://danceparade.org/individual-registration/

Thank you to all the 2500 people who showed up for the South Street Seaport Holi Festival. Everything was perfect: the weather, the energy, the people! I could not have asked for a more perfect experience! We played holi till everyone was colored up and danced till they had to shut the music down. Next year will be bigger! Here are some highlights from the event: 

I truly believe that when you keep your body and brain active, more postive vibes come out into the world. All these events have been keeping me busy and it's been awesome to meet so many of you. If you have any questions and you want to email us, please do! By the way, I did a thing this past weekend! 🏃🏻‍♀️ 

 

Till next time, have an amazing week and see you in person soon.
