시바(Shiva)신화를 통한 하타요가와 바라타나티얌의 유사구조 연구

Abstract

This study analyzed similar structure between the traditional dance of Baratanatiyam which has deep Indian history and Hatha yoga which is centered on physical training, based on Shiva mythology. For conducting the research, we collected various papers and journals related to Shiva mythology, Indian dance, Hatha yoga, and other scientific articles on Indian traditional dance to enhance understanding of Indian traditional culture. Through this, the background composition and characteristics of Indian dance and Hatha yoga derived by Shiva mythology were identified and the gestures of the shiva god were used to symbolize the meanings contained in the gestures. First, it has a symbolic similarity that coincides with the ultimate goal of reaching the state of liberation. Second, the characteristics of Nritta, Nritya, and Natya of Baritanatiyam have structural similarities that work similarly to the structure of Hatha Yoga. Third, symmetrical and repetitive motions and elaborate and standardized motions act in the same pattern. As a result, this study focuses on the understanding of contact between Indian dance and Hatha yoga, which have been separated into different areas and develops the new language of yoga that has become popular in Korea and embraces it within dance studies to promote diversity in dance studies.
