Naad Yog

Naad Yog is the yoga of sound. Mantra, kirtan, dhrupad. The voice is the most accessible of instruments, and the most demanding. Students work daily with the breath, the syllable, and the silence in which the syllable lands.

Beneath audible sound is anāhata nāda, the unstruck inner sound: a vibration that arises without breath, mouth, or instrument. The practice is to listen inward, following outer sound back to its source. Naad Yog teaches that the singer, finally, is not the throat but the awareness that listens through it.
