NADA YOGA: The Yoga of Sound

A Sound Meditation Class with Baird Hersey at Yoga Vermont Today

Baired was an inspirational leader of meditation through sound. This workshop was beneficial and intriguing. I learned more about meditation techniques than I had ever thought I could take in one day.

“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.
