Applied Natya Therapy promotes healing in a number of ways.
Moving as a group brings people out of isolation, creates powerful
social and emotional bonds, and generates the good feelings that come from
being with others. Moving rhythmically eases muscular rigidity,
diminishes anxiety, and increases energy. Moving spontaneously helps
people learn to recognize and trust their impulses, and to act on or
contain them as they choose. Moving creatively encourages self expression
and opens up new ways of thinking and doing.
