Nataraja and Your Dance of Life

Sunday April 26, 2026 1:00pm - 3:00pm MST

Palo Verde

Nataraja, the beautiful dancing form of Shiva, is prevalent in the yoga world. But what does he teach us? In this workshop we will explore stories and teachings around Nataraja, based on the Tantric texts and traditional lore. We will savor the teachings, engage in contemplation, share our insights, as well as chant and meditate.

We will explore
- the story of Patanjali and Vyaghraphada in the Tillai forest
- how his steady center and wild dance represent both the inward turn of yoga practice, and the outward turn of living life fully
- how his hands and feet map the Tantric teachings of the 5 acts of Shiva, informing our path of yoga and of life.
- a contemplative practice which will bring out the deeper meaning of the teachings.

Bring a notebook and pen, as we will be contemplating, writing, and sharing our insights.
