Dear Yoke Folk,

This message is reaching you as I am immersed in mantra, Sanskrit and other mystical practices surrounding nādā Yoga, in the country of its' origin - India.
Nādā is a specific aspect of Bhakti Yoga and relates to sound specifically. This is the third year I've been deeply immersed in the study of this portion of Yoga. This journey is the culmination of this first level of training. My initial training as a "Yoga" teacher happened serendipitously in Southern India almost two decades ago. Now I return with great intention. Already knowledge and engagement of this aspect of this ancient life practice, known as Yoga, has deepened. I anticipate this immersion into these roots of Yoga will broaden future offerings from theYoke.

If you are curious about this Yogic practice Anandra George is the author of this month's blog. She shares how Bhakti Yoga, when engaged with a conscious and specific awareness of the tradition , can transform

Namaste LauraLynn,

Bhakti Yoga: Keep Practicing Until Your Knee-jerk Reaction is Love
by Anandra George

Sustained, embodied LOVE.

The great masters have always said that there is nothing wrong with the world. The only problem is with our perception. When we are pure, we see everything and everyone as pure.

That state is not far-fetched, it’s tantalizingly close!

I could beat around the bush, but in truth, the methods of sound-based yoga as we teach them in the Heart of Sound training bring us swiftly to the empowerment of that choice. And that is the real reason we developed the training. We want you to live in love.

With consistent practice, we discover with delight that the underlying mind-state becomes harmonized and even our knee-jerk reactions to crazy-bad situations are suffused with love!

You may be thinking, “I’ve been chanting for 20 years, why am I not ‘there’ already?”

With LOVE,
Anandra
