Baird Hersey, Nada Yoga



RIDING THE BLISS

NADA YOGA: The Yoga of Sound

A Sound Meditation Class with Baird Hersey



“Unequaled bliss comes to the heart of the Yogi who hears the internal sound of the Nada.”
-The Nada-Bindu Upanishad

By bringing our minds to single pointed attention on the internal sacred sound, we quiet the chatter of the mind and experience a deep feeling of comfort and contentment.

This meditation, based on the Hatha Yoga Pradipika,  will use the 4 levels of sound: Vaikhari (external sounds), Madhyama (mental sounds). Pashyanti (visual sounds), and Para, (the internal sound)  to connect us with the Nada, the sound of bliss.
