Yangshak arises out of two words “Yang”- Spine (Internal) and “Shak” - Image (External). Yangshak movement is an exploration into ‘Lairen Mathek’ — a philosophy that has evolved from the movements and stories of the Manipuri martial art form, Thang-Ta (Khuthek Lal Thek) and dance, Jagoi. 

The workshop on choreographing Yangshak, facilitated by choreographer and contemporary performing artist, Surjit Nongmeikapam, focuses on an in-depth understanding of the body with the help of Yangshak movement. The workshop sought to help the participants to work on their breathing, impulse, weight shifting, momentum, spine and geometrics during this workshop. The workshop also touched upon Manipuri Martial arts Thang-Ta and Manipuri traditional dance to explore movement.
