A.M. Yoga Chants
Forerunner in the field of sacred sound, Russill Paul has studied this Hindu form of yoga (sacred sound) for the better part of two decades. Teacher, musician, and practitioner, Paul introduced the bulk of his work with the phenomenal box setThe Yoga of Sound. Now teaming with the Relaxation Company on the acclaimedA.M./P.M. Yoga series, Paul offers the remarkableYoga Chantsduo. Drawing upon equal measures of masculine and feminine musical energy, as well as ancient mantras includingOm Mani Padme Hoom("Jewel in the Lotus") andHare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare("Sunrise"), Paul'sA.M. Chantsare an optimal beginning to any day. Based in the Carnatic musical tradition of South Indian classical music, violin, mridangam, and two-headed drum raga begin the hourlong morning chant session, gently moving listener-participants through sluggishness and propelling them toward mindful awareness and receptive productivity.--Paige La Grone
