A powerful message delivered in a clever, entertaining, attention-getting performance. Although the play's theme is the cultural appropriation of eastern yoga by western capitalism, it also speaks to universal truths of social justice, the conflict between spirituality and materialism, and how we understand gender roles in religion. We found the play to be both challenging and uplifting; challenging because it questions what we in the West perceive as the tenets of yoga.

An amazing show that is one of the best this year at Fringe. Captivating, filled to the brim with talent and heart, and so much fun!... full review

Mayuri is such a presence. From the story to the dance, the audience was in good hands. An educational exploration of the capitalistic consumption of cultures. Such a great takeaway of the real meaning behind these ancient practices rather than the ones that are commodified. Through story, the audience becomes aware that they most likely didn't know the dilution of such a beautiful art and practice. ... full review
