Nataraja: The Cosmic Dancer with Katie Thomson

  • SoHo Yoga 16 Blandford Street Grange, QLD, 4051 Australia (map)

Brisbane Yoga Workshop

"The whole thing is there you see.  The world of space and time, matter and energy, the world of creation and destruction, the world of psychology. We (the west) don't have anything remotely approaching such a comprehensive symbol, which is both cosmic and psychological and spiritual".  ~ Aldous Huxley

A symbol represents more than words can express and can take us beyond what we see or know.  Nataraja is the symbol of Yoga.  His dance, the dance of bliss, represents the very nature of life, the rhythm of the universe and acceptance that everything is always changing.  Nataraja represents our own intense, incessant and perfect dance that lies deep within our own Anandamayam, our own true nature of inner joy and bliss.  A dance, which if uncovered brings harmony and balance to our lives and to the universe.  

In this workshop we will explore the symbolism of Nataraja through sound and storytelling.  Understanding the symbolism is to understand ourselves. This class will include simple movement, pranayama and dhyana (meditation) practices infused with mantra. No experience is required.  We welcome loud voices, soft voices, squeaky voices and shy voices. Come along and explore the mystery of The Cosmic Dance.  The mystery of Yoga.  Investment $50pp (sorry no member discount).
