RELEASING their inhibitions during a Bollywood dancing Christmas party were members of the Bere Ferrers Yoga group.
Each year the group tries something different to celebrate the festive season.
Bollywood dancer Maggie Squires from Tavistock came to Bere Ferrers Church Hall on the Monday before Christmas bringing with her a case of Bollywood music, sparkly chiffon cloth and scarves.
Maggie was born and spent her early years in India. As a child she was taught Indian dance movements and gestures by local village women.
During the party Maggie said Bollywood dancing is an exaggeration of emotions to music: 'You must release your inhibitions and express what you feel.'
Christine Poole, the yoga teacher, said: 'Everyone stomped around trying to look as graceful and elegant as Maggie — there was much laughter.'
Christine has been teaching yoga in Bere Ferrers for 25 years and also runs Pilates classes in Whitchurch and Tavistock.
