Video Saturday: Is it ballet or yoga?

For the second day of my A-Z Blogging Challenge, showcasing the letter "B," I'm showing the similarities between Ballet and yoga.

Variations On Surya Namaskara, also known as Sun Salutation

This is a common vinyasa or flowing yoga asana sequence. I'm amazed by the beauty...and difficulty.

Phillip Askew, yoga instructor, and Lydia Walker, formerly of the School of American Ballet, present their "Variations On Surya Namaskara" as part of Columbia Ballet Collaborative's Fall Show at New York City Center Studio on November 22, 2008. With the improvisational accompaniment of pianist Jonah Rank.
