The journey of all yogas, in every tradition, leads us to a single destination: an open and loving heart connected to the Source.
On Yoga Chant, instructor Shiva Rea, with acclaimed world music artist Jai Uttal and musician Ben Leinbach, guides you into a transformative inner yoga practice of the heart where you will experience:
• Kirtan Chant-India's ecstatic, sacred sound tradition for opening ourselves to love and devotion
• Vinyasa Flow Yoga-India's flowing sequence of asanas (postures), which are focused on backbends and hip openers to provide the foundation for embodying an open heart and strong spine
• Meditation and Breathwork (pranayama)-India's specific meditations and breathing cycles to nourish the heart center with prana (vital life energy)
Use Yoga Chant's tracks individually or as one continuous sequence to rejuvenate yourself morning or night, release tension and constrictions, and connect to the current of unconditional love. Disc one is a dynamic session, and disc two offers a contemplative sessions. These sessions are suitable for beginners with some yoga experience as well as for intermediate students. Includes a study guide.
