In a world where we are overstimulated by noise, views, information and tasks comes a workshop that helps us slow down and reflect on how we feel. Conducted by Pune and Bengaluru-based Siddhi Tapkir, an expressionist, Movement Medication is a bi-weekly online class of eight sessions that focuses on self-expression through multiple mediums.

In her 60-to-90-minute class, Tapkir leads participants into various forms of communication through art and movement including poetry, colour, dance, expressive arts activities, and improvised movement techniques, similar to contemporary dance. At its core, the class aims to focus on self-expression through self-exploration, storytelling, and the nine rasas or emotions that are the essence of all our experiences, according to Indian philosophy. She explains that the idea is to dive into the smaller movements with mindfulness as it helps participants pause, explore, reflect, and above all, express themselves.
