Nataraja - the dancing warrior. As an ancient form of magic, dancing induces trance, ecstasy, and self-realization. Shiva manifests in form of Nataraja to gather and project his frantic, endless gyrations in order to arouse dormant energies that are the creative forces spaing the world. Leading a class through a linked dance - like series of warrior asanas and vinyasas awakens students' creative energy as body and breath are synchronized in flowing movement.
