Event Description

"Navagraha " is a dance production that distinguishes itself as a unique presentation, because of its subject which is a blend of both Yoga and Bharatanatyam. The choreography starts with a traditional salutation to the Adi Deva "Surya '' with Surya Namaskar mingling with a beautiful piece of traditional Alaripu which shows the brilliance of the Sun - Surya Alaripu. The Choreography moves on with the Salutations to the Chandra with Chandra Namaskara from the Yoga traditions. The choreography then moves to present beautiful asanas, telling interesting stories featuring the movement of the other 7 Grahas. The music is traditional, which intermingles Vedic Mantras with the Rhythms of the Jathis and Swaras making it very lively and powerful. The production takes the audience through a complete experience of how the body is connected to the nature of the universe, and the energy channels of the body called the "nadis" are connected to the constellation called the "Navagraha"

In summary, the practice of Yoga Asanas becomes a healing experience because of the movement in these Nadies which are governed by the Grahas.

Ms. Yamini Muthanna along with her senior dancers and Yoga practitioners will present this Choreography at the auditorium, National Gallery of Modern Art.
