It was not just that we were tuning in with ong namo guru dev namo at the beginning of the class, it was also that the teacher was tuning in to us, our current states of being, as well as the current teachings of our surroundings. There was no doubt that this yoga style and teacher were a bit different from what I experienced before. Often, I caught myself automatically repeating the kriya of the week at home or humming the closing mantra. I used to leave the studio feeling energized, radiant and light this feeling would stay with me for a few days after. Some kriyas (sets of dynamic exercises accompanied by breath work and chanting) were easy and short, others were directly challenging our resistance and barriers within. Instead, the encouragement to explore our boundaries seemed to come with a subtle, undescribable flow of energy among the surrounding yogis.

You may listen to it for your meditation practice or as a relaxing music whenever you want during the day.
