just this moment—this is presence. presence without audience. just the raw encounter with now. no story layered over it. no invisible judges. just you and this moment, meeting each other for the first time. again and again. the eternal first time. the unrepeatable nature of now.

watch them move
movement carries truth. motion carries layers. you become visible. strangers become readable. movement reveals what stillness hides. the way someone leans, shifts, pauses—this is language before words. you can curate stillness, but movement betrays us. you can fake composure in a chair. you cannot fake how you move through space. watch them move. you willContinueContinue reading “watch them move”
keeper of hope
as a teacher, you must become a keeper of hope. help students in crafting their story— brick by brick, chapter by chapter, until the walls of their becoming take shape. whether it’s the narrative of their life, the arc of their passion, or the contours of their talent, the architecture matters. someone must say yes.ContinueContinue reading “keeper of hope”
add
add meaning to a space. inhabit it. sometimes, in fact mostly, receiving doesn’t emerge from the same space—it comes from elsewhere, in rhythms you cannot predict. contribute regardless. slow down in difficult places, dance through the comfortable ones. but add value. leave something of yourself behind—a brick in their wall, a word in their story.ContinueContinue reading “add”
the curtains know
i see nature through the curtains each morning—vast, vibrant. it knows where i need to go before i do. it takes me. i go.
gaps speak
i want to move slow, to linger in each moment. take my time, feel the weight of hours, imagine endlessly. let nothing rush me. let the slowness be my answer. i will find myself in the quiet, in the waiting, in the gaps where time dissolves.
suspended here
infinity. what a spectrum. life can be anchored on this. tumbling day after day, infinitely. this is the ultimate loop. we are threads in its weaving, the pattern and the pattern-maker both. the loop doesn’t circle back—we do, again and again. and in this, we are free.
all the time
we are constantly moving. even when the body stills, the mind spirals, the heart pulses, the blood flows—all of it, ceaselessly. movement is written into the fabric of existence. we are both the movement and the moving. there is no pause, only the illusion of it. and in this perpetual unfolding, we find ourselves alive.
unmapped
each day unmarked, each moment a window opening the unseen. finally, learned to walk without a map. uncertainty is not the absence of direction—it is direction itself, way into the unimagined. five years of exploring have revealed that the unmapped life requires a different kind of sight. you learn to read the subtle signs—the feelingContinueContinue reading “unmapped”
every third day
there is another way. away from constant chaos. slow down every third day to breathe and redirect. polish the why of life & how of dreams. move forward intentionally.
remember
answers lie in all the days that flew by effortlessly. go remember!
they see
movement watching by Infinite Artiste. watch humans move. your loved ones can support you differently when they witness you—in your real element, in your chosen spaces. movement watching becomes their portal into your life. make sure they see your art. make sure they see art.
cinearc
Cinearc: vision for your life arc The vision for these film screenings is to give the viewers a vision through the power of visuals. These films explore the arc of endless emotions and stories oozing out of the cinematic experience. Since cinema is a universal language transcending all boundaries, it serves as a fresh dimensionContinueContinue reading “cinearc”
lensing
The camera is a potent instrument to make the fleeting, permanent; the intangible, tangible and the faraway, intimate. A photograph or film captured with intent & attention to detail is not challenged by demarcations of past, present or future… but an image that just is. It is then, timeless, allowing one to change the world,ContinueContinue reading “lensing”
floating
describe your life in an alternate universe. an aware star dust floating in the universe for billions of years…
ragini’s process
ragini’s process goes beyond the existing mould. trust and surrender are essential prerequisites for embarking on this artistic voyage. you just have to experience it to truly understand. this is a space where students explore their vibrant inner and outer worlds—immersed in all colours of studentship. here, edges soften and shift. here, becoming is theContinueContinue reading “ragini’s process”
about movement
don’t preempt your movement or do it as a mission or attach an outcome to it. movement is a complete amplification of who you are. how you live is how you will move. truly, purely, unconditionally—move your body. movement is not performance. movement is truth. live differently through your movement.
compass within
feeling alive is the compass for life. it keeps you on your path, a secret reminder. dullness is a hint—it means you’ve drifted from your dreams. when aliveness fades, something essential has shifted. the true direction is the feeling of feeling alive in the aliveness.
dance
movement steeped in awareness is dance. coming from a knowing of the entire phenomenon of you—all that you carry, all that you are. dance is the journey from who you are to who you are becoming.
go infinite
it’s a choice. it’s a decision. the way artists commit to their art, humans must commit to being infinite. infinite will draw the artiste out of you to become an infinite artiste.
drip
drop down in your being and talk. you have things to say to the world, through your body. through the voice of your movement. this phenomenon is Drip. Drip by Infinite Artiste.
groove
choose the daily groove of handpicked experiences. with this groove, nothing unnecessary sticks on and you seamlessly glide through life in a rhythmic loop.
artistic upbringing
imagine an upbringing that stretches the mind to imagine and go beyond. an upbringing that nurtures the uniqueness of each individual, encourages exploration, and teaches them to author their own lives. this matters. deeply.
ripen
ripening cannot be commanded. let the strawberries ripen. let the peaches flush. let the tamarinds darken. let the fruit hang heavy on the branch. let the process do the processing. become a bit old in the garden of your life. you are not behind. you are ripening.
infinite artiste
an ecosystem created for creation. creations that emerge from minds that redefine everything. no permission needed. imagine and make it tangible—that’s the mantra.
feel
what you truly feel no one will ever know. so might as well feel. i have decided to feel. feel when i create and and share it beyond myself. every nerve in my body comes alive when i share a part of me with the universe… hoping someone somewhere feels through me.
again
this is the beginning. doesn’t matter where you are in life right now. the process can start again, deeper or differently. be in a process for the rest of your life so you can enjoy reaching somewhere and reach there too, maybe.
belief
belief has a beautiful connection to everything. belief decides how much time it will take. whether you will pull through till the end. if you will see fruits of your seeds. belief keeps your eyes connected. belief begets belief.
questions
who have you been till now? who are you today? how will you use that to go into tomorrow? what do you like? what do you connect to? what is your way of life? begin afresh.
creation of you
preserve your uniqueness as you explore. but explore you must. find experiences that are journeys into creation; the creation of you.
passion story
there is an excitement to create a lifestyle keeping all my current passions in mind. somehow, teaching and mentoring are at the centre. i did not plan this; it just takes centre stage on its own. i like how effortlessly my passion for teaching is rising and grounding at the same time. i let itContinueContinue reading “passion story”
a quest
a quest for a liberated, artistic life of her own led Ragini to create spaces for humans, differently.in her sharings, one can see a mirror into the world of Infinite Artiste. her process of self exploration and discovery has led her to build a home in the depths of being… it is from here, sheContinueContinue reading “a quest”
days or decades
art must retain mystery… for art to be mysterious, it is for the artist to share just enough; its pages might be scattered for all to see. still, the exact thing eludes. it is for the artist to be a book with a strong spine, one that can hold multitudes; they reveal in days orContinueContinue reading “days or decades”
haywire neurons
frozen • churning chaos • muffled voices • haywire neurons • maneuvering a maze • body dialogue • absence of words • answers in art • grasping the mind • inching towards freedom • tip toeing to the higher plane • for higher meaning •
unmap
creating patterns and geometry with my travels: a world movement.
skin memory
i am a being of the cosmos, travelling realms: my body, my spaceship… my skin, the path to memory.
aloof in art
I like the idea of being aloof from the world for my art, how everything that exists doesn’t have to make sense. I am creating a world of my own meaning, and I’m slowly drifting away from how the world actually works. I’m sinking in curiosity, creating answers rather than finding them.
reborn
as the world locked down, doors opened for me. one portal to the next, I was reborn into freedom, through art. I let the familiar fall away and made newness my everyday. exploring the unknown became a practice… and curiosity, my eternal state of being.
leaf
leaf doesn’t decide to angle itself to another leaf in the same manner. it just happens. the leaf is just leafing. it flows & follows… moving to the unpredictable rhythm of the wind.
effortless search
relaxed in my search, without a destination. not seeking anything specific, except the search itself. always moving forward, reaching for more, further & further… who knows what I will find. all I know is, there is more to discover, than there is more to be certain of.
third space
my processes are secret doors. whenever the world is a bit too much for humans and nothing makes sense, they have the keys. — ragini
human of the universe
everything already exists in a merged form. Infinite Artiste’s processes offer different paths to arrive there… to a point of mergedness… a space, where anyone can become a human of the universe; aligned with the cosmos… in a magical synchronicity.
flow
penguins travel oceans. birds travel continents. early man travelled for months. movement must not stop. flow must not stop.
a sense of life
the work i’m doing cannot run only on excitement… I don’t want to get into processes that people will outgrow. so… I teach a sense of life because how can one outgrow a sense of life?
human movement
the blink of an eye, the edge of a smile, goosebumps on the skin, stirring fingers, scrunching toes, rushing for a bus, swaying to music … these are just tiny hints of the intricacies that make up Human Movement, a concept developed by Ragini Bhajanka at Infinite Artiste, after years of research. the base processContinueContinue reading “human movement”
beyond complete
you’re already complete. you’re now experiencing life, feelings, art, humans and just being in the moment. what’s the harm in thinking like that, eh?
inch by inch
it’s important to accept who we are and gradually inch towards the life we imagine. one thing I have deeply understood is showing up, irrespective of the mood… in the right spaces of course… constantly watering your mind, body soul year after year and letting the chaos also exist till it exists… somewhere the consistentContinueContinue reading “inch by inch”
maybe
i get obsessed. i see life. i see movement. i see that human. i see you. in that moment you just about do everything to see art. where. somewhere. everywhere. you have to transcend. you have to push for that creation, that feeling, that look, that moment, that very day. i love it. this restlessness.thisContinueContinue reading “maybe”
destined dew drop
so one year ago, i called Ragini on a wintry morning. a long call which i mostly spent pacing around my room and eventually found myself sitting next to a dew drop streaked window. feb of 2024 saw my first soulo. if there’s one thing i remember about it, i gave it my all. thoseContinueContinue reading “destined dew drop”
para on art
art came into existence as a form of making meaning of the world. (pre-historic cave paintings). it evolved to help people experience time differently and evolved into art forms – a process of creation. (development of books, theatre etc). all the olden books and plays were so long… because art was not something to beContinueContinue reading “para on art”
selfgram
somedays, be left to your own ‘devices’ and let the devices fall away. instead, scroll through your dreams, reel in real emotions, like what you see in the mirror, love your close ones, call your creations and update the story of your life.
we’re giving
every process at Infinite Artiste is a scenery, a microcosm. these are gems for (your) life. so, collect, collect, collect… because we’re giving.
more you
if you can’t get through the world, just become more you; become more connected. go deeper into yourself, an inch a day, to find more galore.
forever story state
when i’m moving, I go far… transcended into my stories. I’m alive. I can move and move, from one story to the next. cook up stories on the go. I guess i’m living in a forever story state… — ragini
knowing
it hurts to keep going in the world without knowing yourself. knowing yourself is to breathe lighter. to be anchored to the core of you. all decisions can come from a deep knowing so you can cruise in life.
bookshelf of emotions
I’ve found a unique liking for emotions. emotions after emotions. no good, no bad. always feeling their ebb and flow to continuously choose which one goes in my personal armour and which one goes in a world reservoir.
explore your voice
any topic can be read with different textures. if speaking of a mishap, it could be urgent, firm or sad. and… speed is a texture too. reading is like movement; to explore words, nuances, speed, textures, moods, stories, emotions. weak projection of voice can affect writing. be a master merger. breath ~ voice ~ bodyContinueContinue reading “explore your voice”
soak & search
I have come to a dreamy place in life. yet the search to be more is tugging at my heels… this is how I live now… in a state of exploring infinite possibilities wildly. I stay put for some time, soak in, and then again, go far into the unknown.
infinite mind
to have an infinite mind is the ability to keep going. the thought of stopping doesn’t exist… even a pause is in service of continuity. to keep living your circulation, to have an evergreen rhythm to your being. to go on being. and on… and on…
artistic seeing
to see artistically, is to see art with the inner eye that exists & breathes only for art.
abundance
be in an unconditional state of mind to truly connect to what suits the being. from there on… just saying yes, yes, yes… and just getting drenched in abundance.
prism personalities
carving pathways for humans to become glass prisms… through whom knowledge refracts into colourful spectrums. once, illuminated by the light of wisdom, convert it to infinite hues of imagination.
addition
everything already exists in the universe. the difference between being inspired and being a copycat… is in combining the universal material your way. it’s the minimum you could do to ruffle what already exists instead of merely replicating it.
the art of writing
mind, voice and tone, all translate into the writing. redefine writing. claim your process of pen to paper. if conversations in the mind are casual or urgent; read it that way. aloud. roll the thoughts in your mouth, and play with your voice. textures of the voices. theatrical, young, firm… you name it & practiseContinueContinue reading “the art of writing”
for your way
my perspective is a speck in the universe. and if it is to be a source of inspiration, let it be for your way of life, for you to immerse yourself deeply in your art. an inspiration to find your process, your unique place in the world. — ragini
permission mentoring
students have to choose to be in my tutelage. I believe in permission mentoring. to have me as a mentor is a calling. — ragini
creating & shipping
precise with real relaxation. no urgency as we see beyond and prepare in decades. consistently collecting and creating for the never ending unknown wild path.
eternal lenser
lensing is the tangibility of the expression of your eye lens. it’s a curious companion. adding to the play of my art and my eyes, with the tangibility. ~ eternal images.
non linearity
linear upbringing creates incomplete and outdated humans way before they step into the world. life is non-linear… and they fall short with linear templates. having a non linear mind is the future, and at Infinite Artiste we nurture it through an artistic upbringing.
process watching origins
the rise of Infinite Artiste has meant the rise of Process Watching… something new unfolded as the entire world went virtual. Ragini’s mentoring method became deeper as she watched humans move class after class. precision in observation was the key element through the screen. it eventually, formed her pedagogy & led to the Seeology programContinueContinue reading “process watching origins”
transcendence
transcendence is when movement becomes otherworldly, beyond words, beyond the known. when it evolves, erupts, evaporates and expands – realm into realm into realm. when movement seems to move with an exploration of its own.
elixir dip
once you merge breath, mind, spine, body, and movement with life, everything makes sense.connecting to our depth to find profound sense is ours to keep. this path you’re on is timeless. keep expanding it. imagine 20 years from now, sitting somewhere… the way of life you have practised soaked deep in your being… with aContinueContinue reading “elixir dip”
reach your soul
if you move your body only in basic activities of the day, it will not reach your soul. if you move and explore your body through physicality and metaphysicality, it has the potential to reach your soul and beyond. then, you can unlock who you are.
feel
it’s a story you will never know but what you feel I don’t know. so feel. beyond explanation. I urge you to feel. I vow to feel. vow to feel myself, my creativity, and my expression and share it beyond myself.is there any other way? every nerve in my body comes alive when I shareContinueContinue reading “feel”
six years
six years we spend around six years of our lives dreamingI dreamI wait to dreamI remember my dreamsI can live in my dreamsI have a dream lifeit transforms me everydayit pulls me in slowlya little too slowly
not like you
can you celebrate someone who is not like you. there is a reason why they are unusual. do you see the beauty in it? imagine if everyone lived their imagination, you would see creatures of life.
one thread
at Infinite Artiste, I want everything to become a part of a movement story. the body, the sound, the rhythm, the silence the fabric, the elements, the lessons. everything that exists around and in us can become an inspiration. that is infinite art.
less
less msgs. less calls. less crowd. less social media. less distractions. so I can hear my breath.
do you?
move till you move more. movement can be the same but thousands of ways you can feel. wherever you are in that moment, is infinity. before you touch, do you feel? before you move, do you move within? before you dream, do you breathe?
swim in ideas
it feels good to toss ideas around and swim in them. hear your own ideas and use them unabashedly. you like it? go for it. make it a habit. get to know how it feels. ideate without validation. act without permission. go swim!
find me
a class with me will connect your entire being… will align your mind with your spine… will free you. find me to find you. — Ragini
go far
I have come to a nice place in life. yet the search to be more is still on. to feel my skin absorbing all emotions and creating art from it. choosing which one I keep for life and which one for art. live in a state of infinite possibilities and explore wildly. then stay putContinueContinue reading “go far”
breath
exhalation is a long journey to find an oasis, the most important journey is the journey of the breath and then there is the world of inhalation.
360
360 by Infinite Artiste Researchfully & mindfully crafted, 360 carries the elixir of Ragini’s twenty-five years of experience. Elevated, uninterrupted & unrushed, it reimagines what it means to do a 360-degree turnaround to our minds and lives. A complete rotation around the central axis of one’s life story, the epiphanies and learnings from this intensiveContinueContinue reading “360”
exhale
exhalation is a long journey to find the oasis. the most important journey is the journey of the breath. and then there is the world of inhalation.
what if
what if every moment was an inspiration for movement? what if every space was a stage for movement? what if every soul was meant for movement? what if movement was our only language to understand each other?
freedom lane
there is sacred freedom in pure exploration. just being in the moment and playing with your art. creation from exploration. imagine being in this lane your whole life. my philosophy is ‘exploration as a way of life’… and i’m just living that. I must live that, now that I know myself.
from the student’s desk
Amidst the sights and sounds of a bustling intersection in Delhi, a sky-blue board for Infinite Artiste invites dreamers and gazers to pause. Its tall windows, clean and bare, too intriguing to ignore. Passersby who follow their curiosity up two flights of stairs, find an oasis of light wooden floors, beige curtains and of course,ContinueContinue reading “from the student’s desk”
a self-program
there are no shortcuts to a self-process. studying the self is both the preparation and the secret.
seeology
Drawing from Seeing & the Latin Word ‘Logos’ meaning to study, Seeology by Infinite Artiste is the study of seeing for you to extract for the journey of your life. A unique chance to step into the Infinite Artiste space & observe Ragini’s multiverse. Seeing her processes up close will empower you to draw parallelsContinueContinue reading “seeology”
musical neurons
merge thoughts with the rhythm of life. ooze music from your neurons and let it travel down to your earthy toes. create a rhythmic web of thoughts. hold and mould it, then follow where it takes you, in paths both known and unknown.
play freely
freedom in connection for art is a vibe. that’s how the process itself becomes the product and play takes the centre stage. what comes above the heap of play is our gift.
raga
moving. just as I am to sounds and rhythms under a night sky. the beginning of Raga. exploring into infinity. exploring infinity. discovering a way of being different from all I’d ever known yet truest to all I ever wanted.
fernway
Fernway… a longing for faraway, unseen places. A German word representing a deep yearning, often an ache to go beyond the reaches of the known and into spaces new and unknown. A symbol of freedom; of stepping into endless adventure and exploration. Ragini’s love for movement, travel and teaching come together as Fernway: a ‘movementContinueContinue reading “fernway”
presence in the world
with Infinite Artiste, feeling stays, connection transcends & the promise of a deep transformation lingers. for life & art are practised differently here. people reach out because they just know. they can visibly see the texture of this space. they know exactly what they want and they want us. it’s a decision. we like it.
canvas
A space designed for artists by an artist with love, intention and attention to detail. Home to artistic programs, performances and residencies. It is open to your play of imagination. You can choose to spend time with your mind, your body… hold rehearsals, take classes, do your shoots… or even create your shows. The projectorContinueContinue reading “canvas”
threading
being lost and consumed by our art is sweet for some… but for me, it’s about circulating off different humans and their art & creative energies. there’s beauty in engagement: in a process of threading… just being in each other’s company and trusting what unfolds.
calm in a storm
to become acquainted with the unknown is for the self to continue to retain and expand its explorative texture. even when the contexts shift like the weather, one’s art remains the only necessary compass, anchor & home.
from the student’s desk
Infinite Artiste is not just a dance studio. At least not in the way dance studios exist anywhere in the world. It is space intentionally designed for everyone. When I say everyone. I mean literally everyone. If you are a living breathing human being, who feels joy, pain and grief that comes with life, youContinueContinue reading “from the student’s desk”
milliseconds
All that surrounds you and exists within you share a cosmic lineage. The genesis of the universe and you emerged from a singular moment in time. It all began with an explosion, a gradual expansion of energy till gravity pulled different matter towards one another to create everything we see, touch & feel. A wildContinueContinue reading “milliseconds”
