COMMENTS such as “You do this with your body?” are often heard by Island Glades yoga teacher R. Kasthuri Kalaichelvi, who has long defied norms.
“I have never let such comments get to me. What others saw as limitations, I turned into my strengths,” said Kasthuri, 55, who embarked on her yoga journey in her early 20s.
