Nritya Yoga (Yoga of Dance): Supreme Union of the Body, Mind and Spirit

        Yoga and Indian dance are inseparable. It is believed that the sacred scriptures were handed down to us through expression, movement, and rhythm of dance by the gods and goddesses. The sacred Yogic postures and mudras( symbolic hand gestures) flow from one posture to another smoothly like dance. Slow and fast rhythmic music is used to help position the postures. Proper yogic breathing, ancient sacred mantra chanting and meditation concludes this wonderful form of Yoga dance. An experience that truly incorporates the body, mind & spirit; a form of meditation in motion that is truly spiritually inspiring and soulfully uplifting!!
