According to Heinz Grill, two major dimensions of movement are combined in the āsana of the dove: a horizontal, gliding direction inclined towards the earth, which is developed in the leg dynamics, and a vertical, gliding dynamic towards the sky or cosmos with the lifting of the spine from the pelvis and the upward stretching of the thoracic spine.
With a spiritual artistry, Julija Mazover demonstrates in an extraordinarily aesthetic way how these two dimensions combine in the performance of the dove, as she moves into a rounding movement and the body forms a beautiful circle.
