The movements and positions have their own names and origins, such as "Hips Rajastani", "Tumka" or "The 8". The uniquely erotic moves from BollyDance and the typical Indian hand gestures (mudras) are combined with modern Hip Hop steps- the perfect combination of Indian and Western dance styles. The music for this workout is a rhythmic CrossOver of Bollywood, Bhangra, Oriental, with various drums in the foreground.

YOGA DANCE
Yoga-Dance is the perfect workout for clients who care about their fitness and have a passion for dance training. Yoga-Dance is a combination of classical yoga elements that are linked in flowing sequences and smooth movements without any breaks. Through constant repetitions it is easy to remind the sequences so that one can concentrate on “feeling” the movements and activating the flow of energy. Participants reported that their flexibility and mobility improved through consequent repetitions. They had the impression their body became “longer” or “taller” and “dancelike” movements helped to make the exercises seem less exhausting. Yoga Dance trains the whole body and improves balance, mobility, flexibility and posture. This result could not be achieved through single, independent exercises where the dynamic link is missing.
