But there is also an important pedagogical and hygienic side to this eurythmy. From a pedagogical-hygienic point of view, one could say that this eurythmy is an animated game of movement for the human being, in contrast to the more physiological game of movement for the human being that exists in the most diverse types of gymnastics. Of course, it is still difficult today to argue that such moving, soul-filled movement games, as found in eurythmy, are preferable for the development of the whole person to mere physiological gymnastics.
