synopsis
In this performance program, dancers express the suppleness, agility, and grace that can be achieved through yoga practice, as asanas (traditional postures from classical yoga) are arranged in a series of flowing movements. In the first of three sections, choreographed asanas are set to music containing elements of both Eastern and Western styles. In the second section, the composition "Fields of Gold" by the rock musician Sting (himself a yoga enthusiast) accompanies the dance. In the third part, the flowing movements are accompanied by inspirational quotations and spoken words instead of music.
