Snake dance can control obesity”, claims Dr A Satnarayana, director, the Shristi Institute of Dance Therapy. According to the doctor, a choreographed story of a snake and a snake charmer, the snake dance is an emotional tale of bliss, anger, excitement and calm. The sweeping, fluid and circular movements provide an array of benefits like strengthening of the breath, cardiovascular systems and bone structure, regulation of blood circulation and rejuvenation of internal organs. Bending movements make the body supple, flexible and creates conscious integration of mind, body and spirit. The lying down postures improve concentration and release stress. The facial expressions release toxins and revitalise every system of the body. Overall, the snake dance helps in recouping energy. While walking, jogging and other exercises lead to longer metabolism time and exertion, dance therapy reduces metabolism to 30 minutes, lowers cholesterol levels and does not cause exertion.
