Virya Foundation is a non-profit organization striving to empower and heal individuals across the world through Indian classical dance, Kathak, as a form of Dance Movement Therapy (DMT). Interventions such as Dance Movement Therapy potentially offer interesting and acceptable treatment options for people suffering from a variety of mental, physical, and emotional health issues. Dance therapy is based on the idea that mind and body are co-relational, and to incorporate Kathak as an effective tool for DMT, it must work as creative therapy that strengthens this connection.
Virya is the Sanskrit word translated into "energy," "diligence," "enthusiasm," or "effort." It can be defined as an attitude of gladly engaging in wholesome activities, and it functions to cause one to accomplish wholesome or virtuous actions. To help mitigate health-related physiological and psychological factors, Virya Foundation’s goal is to guide individuals to mentally, physically, and emotionally heal through Dance Movement Therapy in order to lead more peaceful and powerful lives.
