​NAADA YOGA: Deep Listening for Inner Peace
Tri-Yoga, London.  Livestream  + 7 Days Access to Workshop Recording.
“Indescribable bliss arises in the heart of the yogi who meditates on the inner sound," says the Hatha Yoga Pradipika.  Naada yoga is the meditative practice of deep listening to subtle internal sounds.  In this workshop we will learn the practice of naada yoga, methodically building the skill of deep listening through guided practices calling on music, voice and the sounds of nature.  We will chant mantras, sing ragas and bathe in the sounds of Tibetan bowls, Indian tanpura, and Ann’s magical voice. With Ann’s guidance we will progress toward the more subtle listening for internal sounds, moving our awareness through deeper and deeper layers of silence.
