It's a balmy November evening and we are sitting at Bandra's Otters Club with fitness instructor Vrinda Mehta, who has helped the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Karan Johar, Kajol and Tabu get in shape. But, we are not here to discuss Bollywood celebrities or body dynamics. Our preoccupation, much like hers, is about the mind.

After being in the industry for two decades, Mehta has launched a workshop that has been at the back of her own mind for long. In all the years that she trained people, Mehta had a niggling feeling of having left out a major aspect of fitness - the inner world we inhabit. "Your world could be perfect from the outside, but if its crumbling inside, you're heading towards a disaster. All we were doing was patchwork, without tackling the root, which is why you see more people plunging into depression, or committing suicide," she says.
