If you are into Dance or Yoga only

for good health, then they are just

like any other exercise.

Though…

If the same Dance or Yoga are being

done for mental calmness – then

things start evolving.

However…

Everything under the sun,

physical, mental or intellectual,

The practitioner’s

intent is firm on

self-purification.

So, yes,

your Dance can be

your Yoga.

Also Note:

• In India, dance is also called ‘Meditation in Movement’ for this

reason only. Besides…

• The popular sayings like ‘Work is Worship’ also refer to the same

truth.
