Dia Mirza closed the four day long SHAKTI Pole Camp 1.0 by Smilly Suri. The Kalyug girl has brought this PoleFit revolution to India, to awaken the inner SHAKTI of every woman and man by stabilizing their physical and emotional health and fitness. This camp was in coordination with International Pole artiste Milla Tenorio of Café De La Danse. Besides Pole this camp also has National level certified teachers and coaches of Mallakhambh, Belly Dance, Yoga, Kallaripaitu, Empowerist, Bachata, Healers, Gymnastics and Yogic trainers. “For me Pole is like salvation. I was going through acute depression when Pole happened to me by chance. Later I trained for 4 months in Singapore and then in Dubai I learnt many new tricks and acts. I also realized that Mallakhambh is Indian version of Pole when I learnt it from Sir Uday Deshpande. I had engaged in aerial arts, Mallakhambh, jazz, modern salsa and ballroom dancing and then Pole. I realized its psychological as well as physical benefits. The empowerment adrenaline rush when you get a trick right and the cardiovascular stamina it needs along with the yoga postures on the floor made me realize that it’s a complete mind and body workout. This is what we have offered at #SHAKTI 1.0 Camp.” Speaking about Emotional Health Life Coach and clinical Psychologist Dr Kanan Khatau says, “Our thoughts and emotional state affects the muscle power and makes them weak if we are negative and strong if we are in positive state of mind. In fact it can even impact the muscle power of other people we are having negative or positive thought about. So for physical well being it is very important to be emotionally healthy.” Mental strength combined with physical core is what any individual is empowered with through Pole. It improves flexibility, builds upper body and core strength. It also has elements of yoga in it. It improves ones posture, defines abs and shapes plus tones legs. Mental benefits are more as it helps prevent symptoms of anxiety and depression. Pole increases serotonin and dopamine which are the feel good chemicals in our brains. Pole dancing is a psychological tool, a coping strategy to deal effectively with everyday stressors, as well as assist in recognizing self talk and emotions. Pole allows people to be in the present moment, where they can choose how to respond to emotions, thoughts, sensations and memories. Its a great method to improve one’s mood. The grip of pole helps our motor skills and it also teaches how to breathe Its a sure path of self trust, self reliance and discovering one’s inner strength. Above all it makes one feel beautiful. For Indian women, pole is highly recommend because it will make them feel feminine, agile, empowered and will put them in touch with their inner Shakti.
