We step into the spacious studio at House Of Wow to spot a dozen hula hoops strewn on the floor. Twenty-year-old Eshna Kutty picks three of them; each reaches her waist when measured vertically. She twirls them lazily — one on her waist and two around her hands. Then, without a moment's break, she shifts her position and two of the hoops find themselves around her feet as she balances on one leg and forms a T with her body. Though there isn't any music playing in the background, her movements leave us in a trance.
