About the Actor

Shanti Shivani is one of the few Western pioneers bringing the sacred traditions of Nada Yoga and Dhrupad, the most ancient style of Hindustani Classical Music, to the West. She has been a disciple of the esteemed Dagar family, masters of Dhrupad, since 1981. For the past eighteen years Shivani has been leading workshops internationally. Since 1993 she has been performing and recording both Dhrupad vocal music and World Fusion Music.

Product Description

In this beautiful and enlightening presentation, internationally acclaimed teacher, vocalist and sound healer Shanti Shivani introduces the mystic practice of Nada Yoga (the Yoga of Sound) as a means of healing, empowerment and self-realization. Nada Yoga is the core of Dhrupad, the most ancient style of Hindustani Classical Music. Originally only sung by priests in the temples as an act of worship, it induces a deep meditative state in the singer as well as the listener.

Drawing upon her extensive training and experience in the Dhrupad tradition, Shivani presents specific body movements and vocal techniques designed to free the natural voice, develop awareness of the breath and body, stimulate innate healing potential and access the sacred within. She also offers instruction in the basic exercises of the ancient Indian raga (modal) system and more specifically in Raga Bhairav, the ‘sunrise mode’ that invokes the state of inner peace. These time-honored techniques are designed to clear the emotional body, balance the chakras (subtle energy centers), enhance intuition and creative expression and bring a new level of serenity, health and harmony.

" He who knows the secret of the sounds knows the mystery of the whole universe." -Hazarat Inayat Khan

This review is from: Sound Yoga/Nada Yoga: The Healing Power of Sacred Sound (DVD)

This DVD is an excellent introduction to this amazing, healing and vibrational form of yoga. So many of us in the West think that yoga is only a series of physical postures. But there is so much more!

Through the medium of this DVD I learned that the yogic tradition also contains exercises and teachings designed to bring out the healing powers of my own voice. The clarity and authenticity of the teaching presented here makes it apparent that Shanti has had extensive years of training in India with the great masters in this ancient tradition. .

With the relaxing sound of the tanpura purring behind her, Shanti presents a range of vocal techniques which include movements, breathing exercises and the chanting of sacred sounds. As someone who loves to sing Kirtan, I find this to be an excellent tool for warming up the voice and bringing me into emotional alignment. It has also given me a personal experience of the natural beauty and power of the human voice. I love this DVD and watch it often for it brings me a sense of tranquility, grace and timeless beauty.
