1:30PM – 4:30PM YOGA OF SOUND
‘Nada Yoga’ and Sound Healing practices Sound is the essence of all energy. The first vibration, the Nadam, was “unstruck,” meaning that it occurred at a time when there were no things to strike against each other to make a sound. That first very subtle vibration is still resonating through each and every vibration that has arisen since the beginning.
Nada Yoga is the yoga of deep inner listening. Nada is a Sanskrit word meaning sound; the related word nadi means river or stream. It also means rushing or sounding. Nadis are the subtle channels through which consciousness flows.
To begin the practice of Nada Yoga, the yogi first practices pratyahara by drawing the senses inward and forcefully shuts out as many external sights and sounds as possible. The first stage of pratyahara is to become still and quiet, and allow an inner tranquility to permeate the senses

The secret is in your breath. ‘Prana’ refers to the universal life force and ‘ayama’ means to regulate or lengthen. Ancient yogic seers observed the power of the breath as a means to increase one’s prana and developed special breathing techniques to increase life energy, maintain health and create a calm, clear state of mind that is conducive for meditation. shamanic breathing assists us to go into the natural world of healing.
