In this class we will investigate the rhythms of the human mind and body and their yogic applications.

In the kirtan tradition, the "mood" and melody of a shabd is considered integral in conveying its meaning and spirit. Shabds in the Siri Guru Granth Sahib were classified by raag, each identifiable by its scale, mood, and melodic movement. Considered a "sunrise" raag, Bilaaval conveys dawn and blossoming beginnings. We will open our voices with riyaaz in Bilaaval scale before singing melodic phrases from classic Bilaaval compositions.
