In this class, Crystal speaks to the three forms of Shiva.
The first is the Nataraja (we take this in the Dancer's pose). This can be seen as the dance of creation or destruction (the ending of a process or cycle for new birth).
The second is the Shankar which is the doer of good. This can be taken in meditative forms or going inward.
The form we will focus the most on today is the Ardhanarishvara (half-man, half-woman, Shiva & Shakti). This is seen as yin & yang energy, solar & lunar energy, or even in yoga as the balance of rest & movement.
