COMPARISION BETWEEN YOGIC MUDRA & ODISSI

MUDRA

While there are many philosophical and practical connection between Yoga
and Dance, the principle of unifying opposites is essential to both system.
Practitioners of Hatha Yoga often told that the word Hatha represents the
figurative joining of the Sun (HA) and Moon (Tha), respectively masculine
and feminine energies. On a practical level this often translates as the balance
of differing qualities with in a pose, strength and flexibility, inner relaxation
and focus. With in Indian classical Dance forms this balance of masculine and
feminine is understood as the balance of Tandava and Lasya. Tandava is
associated with strong, vigorous movement and is considered the vibrant
dance of the Virile, Shiba. Its compliment, Lasya . the Dance of the Shiva’s
consort Parbati, embodies graceful, fluid movements, dances are often
classified as being Tandava or Lasya in the same way that certain Asanas or
Pranayamas are classified as heat generating or cooling. Another area where
dance and Hatha Yoga meet is in the actual Sadhana where there are many
parallels between the two arts in both of techniques and sprit (Bhaba) of the
dance. All of the Indian classical dance refers back to the Natya Sashtra text
for an elaborate classification of the form. If you thought the technique of
Asana was detailed you should peruse the Natya Sashtra. It is only described
description of the actions of the miner limbs (Angas) the head , chest, sides ,
hips , hands and feet , but also offer a detailed description of the minors limbs
(Upa Angas) including intricate movements of the eyebrows , eyeballs,
eyelids , chin and even the nose to create specific moods and effect.
