Natya Yoga: Peace Passion Pain: Mapping Emotions

About the Book:

This book brings to life the way two different disciplines —yoga and dance —shed light on our understanding of emotions. It presents a blend of both art forms to illuminate not only emotions themselves and the power they embody, but how they can be harmonized in the human heart. The authors are leading lights in their separate fields, and each brings a lifetime’s wisdom and study to the subject.

–John McLaughlin, Founder of the East-West fusion group, Shakti
