Natya Yoga

Natya Yoga, or the spiritual path of Dance, is a combination of mainly Bhakti Yoga with many elements of Hatha Yoga and Raja Yoga.

According to Natya Shastra, it was initially practised by Narada and Gandharvas, especially by Apsaras. In the medieval times, Natya Yoga was practised by the Hindu temple priests, devadasi's.

The contemporary form of Natya Yoga is sometimes taught in the orthodox schools of Odissi and Bharatanatyam.
