In Delhi, a 39-year-old banker named Vijeta Doneria arrived at a truth the fitness industry rarely leads with: that the body is not an adversary to be subdued but an instrument to be nourished.

Her story joins a long human conversation about how we relate to our own bodies, and what it truly means to care for them.
