In this video article Julija Mazover forms the half-moon dove, eka-pāda-kapotāsana. It’s astonishing how the deep sinking into the standing position is coordinated with the intensive backward bend again and again, in a new and harmonious way, during the formation of the half-moon. The thoracic spine is shaped in a very harmonious, wide and dynamic way. The eyes vigilantly observe the forming process. It is also very noticeable how the end positon places a high demand on balance. When the heel and head touch, a circle is created by the well-prepared and beautifully shaped curve of the upper body. The position is very metric. To ensure that the carefully built dynamic does not break when leaving the position, Julija Mazover harmoniously concludes the performance with another gliding dynamic in the half moon. A work of art has been created.
