Shakti 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.

SHAKTI YOGA introduces you to the 1500-year-old Tantric tradition of using sacred sound to stimulate the flow of the body’s subtle energy centers, called chakras. Balancing your chakras by singing specific Tantric chants enhances your senses, heightens sensuality and physical pleasure, and helps you to establish a deep connection to your physical body and to the earth. Russill Paul masterfully blends the tremendous power of these ancient chants with an ensemble of traditional Indian and contemporary instrumentation.

SHAKTI YOGA is a sensual and energizing 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 Shakti mantras as well as meditation techniques to help you gain the most benefit from this unique practice.
