Hatha Yoga and Classical Indian Dance
Yoga (I will be referring primarily to hatha yoga) offers a way for me to experience union with my being through introspection. The practices help unveil layers of myself, leading to deepened awareness and a state of spiritual union.
I have personally found that the two traditions offer me slightly different ways of aligning body and being, and it has made me appreciate the particularities of each tradition.
Hindu Mythology
Hindu mythology is intertwined in both yoga and dance. Dancers are storytellers of mythology, and the mythology inspires names, themes, and practices in yoga. I learned about Hinduism primarily through dance, as it was required to understand the myths in order to express these stories to an audience. My favourite dances were those conveying the stories of Lord Shiva, who is integral to both yoga and dance.
As Nataraja, the Lord of Dance, Shiva performs both Lasya (a soft dance representing the creation of the world), and Tandava (an energetic dance representing the destruction of the world). Lasya and Tandava are also understood as feminine and masculine energies, which can be compared to the sun (ha) and moon (tha) energies in hatha yoga.
authoritative text on yoga) was also said to have been inspired by a divine encounter with Shiva.
Disciplined Practice
Yoga and dance are both traditionally taught within a guru-shishya tradition (mentorship between a guru and disciple). Students are initiated into the relationship, and the educational process is considered sacred. The formal study of both yoga and dance each requires commitment and dedication for many years (if not a lifetime). While yoga lays a pathway to union through introspection, dance lays a pathway to union not only through the dancer’s experience of the art, but also her opening of this experience for the audience members. This dual experience of transcendence (first for the dancer and second for the audience) is known as a “double blessing,” according to my dance teacher, Guru Mrs.SARITHA DHILIP , an expert practitioner of Bharata Natyam & kuchipudi.
Alignment of the Body
Yoga and dance are both longstanding traditions with multiple historical influences that have contributed to the development of each form over time. Yoga was initially familiar to my body as a dancer because there are similarities in the physical forms of yoga and dance. In both traditions, the movements or postures are based on the center line of the body in relation to gravity and geometry, both traditions keep the head, neck and spine straight and balanced, they are both grounding and stabilizing, and simultaneously necessitate and cultivate a deep presence and stillness in concentration.
The alignment and form in asana practice is intended to “cultivate awareness, relaxation, concentration and meditation.
yoga scriptures identified 8,400,000 asanas (translated from Sanskrit as “seat,” known today as physical postures), that have now been reduced to a few hundred,
The dancer attunes her body to the rhythym or melody of the song, to the poetry, to the emotion that is to be expressed in order to evoke rasa, or simply for the beauty of the art.
The Natya Shastra outlines 108 karanas (translated from Sanskrit as “action” or “doing”), which are cadences of movements that can be seen in present day dance as “rhythmic and graceful without interpretative significance.
Understanding Bharata Natyam as an Embodiment of Ashta Anga Yoga. The karanas are depicted in sculptures and paintings on the walls of Hindu temples in India, and include acrobatic stances that are similar to yoga asanas, the majority of which are not routinely used in current day dance because of the requirement of flexibility needed to do these movements. An example of a parallel movement found in yoga and dance is pictured below.
Hand Gestures
Mudra (hand/finger gesture, also known as hasta (“hand”) mudra in dance), is translated from Sanskrit as “gesture,” “attitude,” or “seal.” While mudras are used for external communication in dance, they are used for internal communication in yoga.
In Asana, Pranayama, Mudra, Bandha that mudras are considered “higher practices which lead to awakening.” This text outlines five groups of mudras in yoga, including hand mudras, head mudras, postural mudras, lock mudras, and perineal mudras. Mudra practice establishes a connection between the physical, mental, and energy bodies, and can lead to energy being directed within the body for healing purposes. They can be used in conjunction with physical postures, breathwork, chanting and meditation.
In dance there are 28 single–handed gestures (Asamyukta Hasta), and 24 double handed gestures (Samyukta Hasta) identified in the Natya Shastra.
An “artistic language of poetry, gesture, and dance” which convey self-expression through creative storytelling. Mudras, along with a dancer’s facial expression and body posture, helps to communicate with the audience to elicit rasa, and they can also simply be part of an aesthetic movement without an expressive purpose.
Some hand gestures overlap in the yoga and dance tradition, and some do not. Those gestures that do overlap can be utilized differently and can also have a different name in each tradition, such as hamsasya and jnana (pictured above).
