In episode 24 of our ongoing series Mics and Minds, we speak with Jeevita Pillai, a dynamic dance fitness instructor and accredited Sport and Exercise Psychologist with a rich background in diverse dance styles and athlete well-being.

Jeevita began her dance journey at the age of 4 where she mastered a range of styles from Chinese dance and Ballet to Bharatanatyam, Reggaeton and Hip Hop.

Stay tuned and listen to the episode with our host Payal Nayar to know more on how Jeevita is blending dance and psychology to inspire and transform lives.

Jeevita’s passion for dance led her to found AfrowithJeevi (AWJ), a dance fitness brand that brings the vibrant energy of African Dance to Singapore and beyond.

In her Sport Psychology career, Jeevi has worked with athletes from various sports including Sailing, Netball, Gymnastics, and Fencing helping them enhance their performance and well-being through evidence-based interventions. She is also the founder of The DARE Platform, which equips athletes and dancers with the tools to optimise their mental performance.

Jeevita’s academic contributions include published research, and she is currently investigating youth athletes' transitions in sports in collaboration with Deakin University.
