Natya Yoga

Natya Yoga or most commonly known as dance yoga is the combination of Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga and having some elements of Raja Yoga and Hatha Yoga. It is believed to conceptualize the transformation of one’s soul, body, mind and heart. This type of yoga is rather complicated compared to others since it is has a little of everything. Natya yoga is composed of traditional yoga exercises and yoga poses that greatly helps in preparing your body. However, it is not limited to those postures only because there are other animated exercises that are even similar to martial arts. This only shows how complex and interesting Natya Yoga really is.

People who are practicing Natya Yoga strongly believe that this is the fastest way to absorb every aspect of Bhakti. By means of mastering various emotional states and performing different religious songs you can absorb everything about Bhakti. In addition to that, it is also believed that people who practice Natya yoga is capable of doing anything, which results into the disunion from your mental, physical and emotional activities. Once you perform these yoga exercises, you are expected to be stoic and separate yourself from the audience and any kind of distraction. Self-control and focus are the two essential factors in order to successfully perform Natya yoga.

But without the meditation on sound or Nada Yoga, Natya yoga will never be succesful because the said yoga helps the practitioner to concentrate on specific music or sounds that guides the body to move according to the sounds so as to reach the level of consciousness. The combination of Nada and Natya yoga is certainly the main reason why a practitioner can harmonize all the movements such as the movement of the hands, the ears listening intently to the sound, the feet moving in perfect timing, the eyes following the movement of the hands and the lovely singing. If all these movements are done flawlessly, the practitioner of this yoga will definitely experience clarity and have a peaceful mind.

The fusion of the ears, eyes, hands, feet and singing is the main goal of Natya Yoga. This may seem to be very hard to achieve but it is still feasible especially if you'll just focus hard and if you have a strong determination to finally experience peace. It's not really a requirement to have a talent in both singing and dancing in order to experience serenity. Anyone can definitely do this, just concentrate hard and isolate yourself from worldly distractions. In no time, you can reach a state of mind that is devoid of worries and distractions, which can finally make you feel relaxed and calm.
