Dance Movement Therapist in Pune

#1
In the realm of healing and holistic well-being, dance is no longer confined to the stage—it's stepping into therapy rooms, hospitals, and wellness centers. As a certified Dance Movement Therapist in Pune, I have seen firsthand how powerful movement can be as a tool for emotional release, healing, and transformation.
Rooted in the principles of psychotherapy and body awareness, Dance Movement Therapy (DMT) is an evidence-based practice that uses movement to support emotional, cognitive, physical, and social integration. For many, it's a bridge between mental health and body awareness, and for me, it’s also an extension of my journey as a Kathak dancer, Yoga teacher, and artist.


My Journey into Dance Movement Therapy

Growing up with a deep passion for the Indian classical dance form Kathak, I always believed in the power of rhythm, expression, and storytelling. Over the years, as I expanded my practice to include yoga and studied expressive arts therapy, the natural progression led me to Dance Movement Therapy. Now, as a certified Dance Movement Therapist in Pune, I combine my experience in classical dance, yoga, and therapeutic movement to create a unique and deeply impactful practice.
I work with individuals across all age groups, including children with special needs, trauma survivors, and those navigating stress, anxiety, and emotional imbalances. Movement becomes a language—one that doesn’t require words but communicates everything we hold inside.

Dance as Healing: The Therapeutic Impact

Dance Movement Therapy is especially effective in:
  • Releasing stored trauma
  • Improving body image and self-confidence
  • Enhancing emotional expression and regulation
  • Supporting mental health alongside conventional therapy
  • Promoting mindfulness and body awareness
This aligns with my broader vision as the Director at Sakal Media Group and Trustee of the Pune Blind School and Nirdhar Trust—to create spaces that empower people, promote well-being, and offer platforms for personal growth.

A Holistic Approach to Wellness in Pune

Pune has always been a hub for cultural and spiritual exploration. As a Yoga practitioner and Dance Movement Therapist in Pune, I conduct workshops and private sessions that blend the principles of yoga, classical Indian dance, and therapeutic movement. Whether in studios, hospitals, or community spaces, my work is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and service.

Being part of the Sakal Media Group—with its legacy of ethical journalism and social impact—has given me the voice and platform to further the cause of holistic wellness in Pune. I believe that powerful stories, authentic movement, and mindful practices can reshape our world, one step at a time.
