  • EP 5: the inner music (nada yoga)
    May 7 2025

    Sandy shares one of their favourite verses from the Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā on the topic of nadam - the yoga of sound. Keith shares from his experience as a life-long musician, and how it relates to yoga practice. There is mention of flow state, inner and outer listening, and how hearing happens with much more than just our ears...

    ------

    Mantra:

    namaḥ śivāya gurave nāda-bindu-kalātmane

    nirañjana-padaṁ yāti nityaṁ tatra parāyaṇaḥ

    ~ Haṭha Yoga Pradīpikā Chapter 4, Verse 1

    Interpretation by Sharon Gannon and David Life:

    “Salutations to the nadam, which is the inner guide and inner life, the dispenser of happiness to all! It is the inner guru appearing as nada, bindu and kala. One who is devoted to the inner guru, the nada, the inner music, obtains the highest bliss.”
