Description: The physical body is the secretly coded condensation of limitless power encapsulated in form, and with its brain and spinal centers, it is a key that can open doors into the universal rhythms and cause of all things. The ancient rishis of Indian knew the body as an externalization of metaphysical truth. Through the relentless investigations into the hidden potentialities within the body, they discovered the science of yoga, the full proof way to reunite with our origin.

Graham, Duncan, and St. Dennis also understood our physical form is something sacred. They recognized it as a temple, divine symbol, and a center for receiving information And communicating ideas. These three women knew it was an instrument worthy of the deepest investigations, and they gave their lives to that undertaking. -- from the foreword

Description

Deeply imbedded in the bodies of these three dance pioneers was an understanding of the sacred and liberating aspects of dance and the female body. This is a beautiful, compelling book authenticating the fact that these women were not only artistic geniuses but spiritual philosophers of the highest order.
