Natya Yoga
for dancers
Natya yoga is a system of techniques aimed at harmonizing the state of a dancer.
Created by the instructors of the Ukrainian Yoga Federation, the All-Ukrainian Dance Federation and the Institute of Yoga and Yogatherapy.
WHY NATYA YOGA?
Dance is a beautiful art form that is emotionally engaging and satisfying. We tend to think of the dancers as fit and healthy people due to their active lifestyle. However, during the trainings, that are often vigorous and physically tiring, some of the dancer's body zones are more engaged in work than the others. Each dance style has its own "favourite" zone to load, creating overall imbalance.
​
Natya Yoga was developed by a group of yogis and dancers who through their hands-on experience saw the harmonizing effect of yogic exercises on the dancers' bodies. Each set of exercises provides a workflow that will address specifics of each separate dance style and will help the dancer relieve the overworked areas boosting the dancer's energy.
