“Kundalini” Dance Musical to Premiere in Bengaluru, Exploring Inner Energy
Bengaluru, India – December 8, 2025 – Renowned danseuse and yoga practitioner Yamini Muthanna is set to premiere her ambitious new production, “Kundalini,” at the Medai Margazhi festival in Bengaluru on December 12th. The performance, described as a dance musical, is a culmination of Muthanna’s 52 years of practice and five years of ideation.
“Kundalini” aims to visually represent the experience of awakening Kundalini energy within the body, blending the traditional art form of Bharatnatyam with elements of yoga and tantric music. Muthanna emphasizes that the piece is not a typical dance performance but rather a sharing of knowledge and a new perspective on the potential of inner energy.
The production will feature a live orchestra, incorporating traditional Indian instruments and mantra chanting by vocalist Bhargav HC. Composer Raghunandan Ramakrishna has created a tantra-based score. Notably, Muthanna will employ an aerial hammock to depict the descent of Kundalini energy and incorporate movements from Kalaripayattu to showcase balance and the power of elements.
Muthanna hopes to dispel misconceptions surrounding Kundalini, clarifying that it represents the potential of energy within the body, rather than any singular mystical or sexual power. Audiences can expect an unconventional performance, foregoing traditional Bharatnatyam attire in favor of a presentation focused on the experience and exploration of inner energy.
“Kundalini” will be presented at Medai The Stage, Bengaluru, on December 12th at 7:45 pm. Tickets are available on Ticket9.
