Tandava, translated as the cosmic dance of Shiva, is a joyous movement experience combining elements of yoga and dance; Based in Kripalu Yoga it includes the use of mudras (ancient sacred hand movements), yoga postures, breath, music, and creative movement; Participants are encouraged to listen to their own inner guidance and let go of any ideas about what dance is supposed to look like in order to experience the ecstasy that comes from Tandava
