NADA: Awakening Spirit

Alongside the familiar Yoga practice of movement and meditation is the ancient Yoga of Music and Chant. The goal of this type of yoga is to open your heart, awaken your mind, and arouse your Spirit.

Sacred Chant to Awaken Your Spirit Nada Yoga is a 2,000-year-old pathway to higher consciousness, enhanced health and deeper levels of perception, developed in the esoteric spiritual schools of India. Russill Paul left his career as a film musician and took up residence in an Indian monastery where he devoted himself to deeply mastering this powerful art form. On Nada, Russill’s remarkable chanting is accompanied by his own ten-stringed hybrid instrument called a Unitar, Bansuri flute, Indian percussion, Sarangi, and Tanpura. Nada can be used for meditation, or to fill up a room with uplifting energy. Chanting along is almost irresistible.


Russill Paul presents his work on musical mysticism at retreats and learning centers worldwide. He is the author of The Yoga of Sound: Tapping the Hidden Power of Music and Chant (New World Library), has shared the stage with many musical luminaries, and has performed for His Holiness the Dalai Lama.


“His music is delightful – a spiritually uplifting experience.”
—Carolyn Myss, best-selling author of Sacred Contracts

“His fusion of the sounds of India with the energy and technology of contemporary Western music produces a sound unequaled since George Harrison collaborated with Ravi Shankar in the late 1960s.’’
—Arlo Guthrie
