The Yoga of Sound
Yoga and music, two powerful approaches to optimal health, have garnered enormous credibility in the western world in the last two decades. Health, we are fast realizing, is not simply the absence of disease: it is a condition of soul that invigorates our being, enabling us to derive the most from life. The Yoga of Sound is a powerful spiritual system that unifies the key principles of healing found in yoga and music into an effective practice. A special presentation by Russill Paul and his work "The Yoga of Sound", blending art, education and spirituality in a holistic and evolutionary approach toward enhanced health and well being is also a part of the program |
