Nada Yoga interprets the cosmos through the medium of sound. Such a way of perceiving the world unites ancient myths and modern science. Since Pythagoras established a correlation between musical notes and mathematical ratios, it is not fanciful to see music everywhere in the universe, from the tiniest atoms to the movement of planets. And, of course, in our own bodies.

The range of sound accessible to us is very limited, therefore our exploration of Nada extends beyond the sounds we are able to bring out, to wider concepts of harmony, balance and rhythm.

We look for ways to endow our posture and movement with these qualities. A harmonious distribution of effort prevents chronic overuse of some areas (usually the neck and lower back) while other parts atrophy.

We learn to appreciate the fundamental role of rhythm, without which we would be unable even to walk. Rhythm binds both us, and the cosmos, together.

Within the context of Indian music, Nada refers to the very essence of the vibration of the sounds of music. And so, although our journey may begin with audible sound, such as mantra and song, it must lead us to deeper realms of being, just as surely as the chanting of the mantra Om, that perfect symbol of Nada, is followed by the silence from which the manifest universe emanates.
