dancing is all about flexibility, stamina and novelty. On one
hand, the practice of asanas provides the body flexibility that
enhances the bodily grace, also helping the artist to maintain
a slender and presentable physique. On the other hand, regular
sessions of pranayam enable the dancers to build-up the stamina"-
