ASHTANGA MEETS RAGA

RAGAS OPEN YOUR HEART AND EMPTY THE MIND. THEY ARE A SOURCE OF POWER AND DEVOTION IN YOUR DAILY LIFE.

 

Ashtanga meets Raga brings together the Indian Ragas (melodies) with the Ashtanga Mysore practice to create a meditative calming atmosphere.

 

Just as a primary goal of Yoga is to still the thought waves of your mind, Indian Raga music helps the mind to reach a meditative focused state of one-pointedness.

The word Raga comes from ancient Sanskrit and is translated as 'which colours the mind'.
Ragas are intrinsically related to the prevailing mood at a specific time of day or night. Therefore, they represent and create a direct approach to the precious moment of the Here and Now. 

 

Classical Indian music and Yoga have been practiced together since ancient times - as you see in the painting below, which dates back to the 14th century!

 

Below you see a Yogi in Sirsasana and a musician playing on the Rudra Veena, from the painting Lord Rama in the forest.
