Yoga Aktuell 70 - 05/2011

Special Dossier Topic: Yoga and Sound: Primal Sound, Mantras, Chanting and Club Beats.

With free music CD "My music for Yoga & Meditation"

Without sound, it would not only be far too quiet around us, without sound the universe would possibly not have come into being at all.
The teaching of primal sound is one of the exciting aspects that our dossier "Yoga & Sound" receives. Of course, it also deals with nada yoga and mantras, music as an accompaniment to yoga classes and many other soundful topics. Plus: ten famous Chant artists in an interview!
