Yoga Aesthetics Julia Maxwell

YOGA AESTHETICS explores an ancient idea about the creative interface between consciousness and physical reality. This idea formed the basis of India's yogic practices, preserved over time through arts. After 5000 years, it remains available to us through the image of the Nataraj in The Cosmic Dance of Life. Today, inquiries about the interface between consciousness and physical reality are at the heart of serious scientific debates. Julia Maxwell brings her background in classical Indian aesthetics together with a borrowed lens from science to offer us an ultra-fresh perspective on our identity as creators of experience. JULIA MAXWELL is a dancer, entrepreneur, and author. As a young woman, she co-founded the Chitresh Das Dance Company, a nonprofit international arts organization featuring kathak dance. Following a 20-year performing career and a Master's in Dance at Stanford University, Ms. Maxwell brought her knowledge of aesthetics from the dance stage to the yoga studio where she developed Yoga Aesthetics (yogaaesthetics.com). Ms. Maxwell is also the author of The Jewel & Filigree, a compelling intercultural memoir.
