Fall in step to the beat of the dhol drum in Sarina Jain’s high-energy Masala Bhangra workout at Crunch and Clay Spa.
Jain’s vivacious, electrifying personality inspires energy and movement, and the music mesmerizes as you glide along in a hip-shaking, heart-pumping sweat. Bhangra is a celebratory, infectious beat that keeps you moving without effort, just as you would on a club’s dance floor while having fun. This is a joyful way to melt off the pounds, strengthen muscles and maintain weight, and primarily entails imitating Jain’s Bollywood-style moves — to the big beat of music you just have to love.
