Celebrating Indian Culture in Finland and Estonia a Catalogue of Artists
Celebrating Indian Culture in Finland and Estonia A Catalogue of Artists FOREWORD BY AMBASSADOR OF INDIA A warm welcome to the enthusiasts of Indian culture in Finland and Estonia! It is with great pleasure that I present to you a catalogue of talented artists practising different Indian art forms in Finland and Estonia. Under the banner of Kala Sangam (literally ‘a confluence of art forms’), you will find groups and solo artists of different styles in the fields of music and dance. Whether you are looking for an artist to perform, a group to join or an art form to learn, we hope this catalogue will bring India closer to you. Indian culture needs no introduction. Through the numerous yoga studios and delectable cuisine, the amazing kaleidoscope of music and dance forms, and through its impressive art and architecture, Indian culture resonates across the world. Unsurprisingly, the people in Finland and Estonia have great admiration for the expressive and inspiring art forms of India. They have become inspired by it first-hand through their own travels in India, and indirectly through media. In Finland and Estonia, the active and growing Indian diaspora and Finnish/Estonian experts who have learned directly from maestros in India, have brought Indian art forms closer to home. It is now possible to enjoy and learn various Indian art forms from artists based in Finland and Estonia. I welcome you to use the catalogue as a reference for connecting with the artists. Discover new experiences and expand your horizons! 1 January, 2021 Raveesh Kumar

Bhangra Therapeutic Dance
Bhangra therapeutic dance - exercise & Axial Spondyloarthritis (AxSpA) By Susi Gaikward Movement or Dance therapy refers to a broad range of eastern and western movement working out one’s body movement to improve her/ his cognitive, physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. Dancing counts as one of the moderate physical activities, dance therapy developed in popularity in the last 10 years and several therapists started using modulated dance therapy to enhance their patients’ general flexibility, muscle coordination, balance and mobility. Dancing has been evidenced also in reduce chronic pain, stress, anxiety and depression levels and improvement of self-confidence. Being a rheumatology physiotherapist, I am aware that my patients with widespread pain patients need different motivational approaches to get active, and have tried innovative practices (Tai chi, game based activities, line dancing, therapeutic yoga approaches, etc.) and found them effective in engaging patients and assisting them towards their physiotherapy goals. I always believed dancing is therapeutic, can be adapted to suit an individual’s fitness level, gently be introduced, paced and progressed/regressed. Alongside improving physical benefits, dance therapy provides plentiful emotional benefits too. While dancing, physical activity increases releasing neurotransmitter substances in the brain (endorphins). This creates a state of well-being and thereby enhances the functions of other body systems. The same endorphins that make one feel better when moving also helps us to concentrate and sleep better, increases energy levels and can help us to become more resilient to face various mental or emotional challenges in life. Bhangra dancing In the 1940s, a classical folk dance named Bhangra was traditionally danced during the harvest time in Punjab (North West India & North East Pakistan).
