Bhava Yoga

Yoga! The word evokes images of people gracefully holding their bodies in positions of masterful flexibility. But alongside this familiar Yoga practice of movement and meditation is an ancient Yoga of sound largely unknown in the West, whose goal is to awaken dormant powers of the mind through the use of music and chant.

The YOGA OF SOUND SERIES will initiate you into this ancient science, and will introduce you to the path of using sound to facilitate emotional balance, vitality, freedom from stress, and an expanded sense of one’s inner space.

BHAVA YOGA, developed in the fourteenth century is the practice of using exquisite melodic chanting to experience the rapture associated with connecting to the Divine. Chanting these ancient words unites the expansiveness of the cosmos with the intimacy of the human body, bringing you a sense of inner freedom, liberation, and profound love. Russill Paul masterfully blends the tremendous power of these ancient chants with an ensemble of traditional Indian and contemporary instrumentation.

BHAVA YOGA is an ecstatic listening experience. You can delve even deeper into this tradition and actually begin chanting these powerful mantras along with the recording. The enclosed instructions will teach you the actual mantras as well as meditation techniques to help you gain the most benefit from this unique practice.
