Universal Yoga is based on the knowledge of the structure of the human being and universal rules of modifications of this structure. According to the traditional idea of Yoga, a human being consists of seven bodies, called shells or maya koshas. These shells, or forms, are called organic, power, psychic, mental, spiritual, causal and absence of form--or Formlessness. The goal of the UY is to achieve harmony and balance within each shell, between the shells, and between the human being and the outer world." -- For more info about Universal Yoga and Dance of Shiva, go to http://www.yoga.com.ua/ or http://www.universal-yoga.org/.
