Brilliant concept and fantastic performance by Mayuri! Highly recommend watching this play as it sheds a much-needed light on the essence of yoga as a centuries old practice and its presence in modern-day, reflecting on how it has been commoditized but also how its core values can have a profound, positive impact on a personal and communal level.

You can tell the amount of effort that she's put into the show- yet at the same time, her performance seems effortless and easy to follow. This is the best show I've seen at the Zephyr Theatre, and the best show that I've seen in general. Special shoutout to Neel Agrawal, the brilliant musician who was in tune with e... full review
