A recent yoga session at Juhu beach

Music heals, and a growing realisation of this fact has led to its application to various therapeutic purposes recently. But to be able to create impactful music, a sound mind and a sound body are vital. “For musicians, sitting or standing in a certain posture is par for the course. Over the years, it takes its toll on the body,” says sitarist and yoga trainer Mandar Marathe, who will be conducting a masterclass called Yoga for Musicians at The True School of Music this Friday.
