Stretch your way to good health

Arpana Lama, a professional ballet dancer, talks about the importance of stretching daily.

Arpana Lama is a professional dancer and gymnast. Her passion for dance started early—she began taking dance classes in ninth grade. Eventually, Arpana joined Sushila Arts Academy, where she planned to study contemporary dance. However, her instructors were so impressed with her dancing that they encouraged her to study ballet instead. Since then, she has honed her ballet skills for almost eight years.
