About the Artist
Russill's musical sensibilities began to evolve as a child and later in the world of contemporary film music. He took a detour from his musical career to live as a monk in a monastery in South India for five years where he practiced this ancient art form. He now performs lectures and teaches worldwide.

Product Description
SHAKTI YOGA Russill Paul

Yoga! The word evokes images of people gracefully holding their bodies in positions of masterful flexibility. But alongside this familiar Yoga practice of movement and meditation is an ancient Yoga of sound largely unknown in the West, whose goal is to awaken dormant powers of the mind through the use of music and chant.

The YOGA OF SOUND SERIES will initiate you into this ancient science, and will introduce you to the path of using sound to facilitate emotional balance, vitality, freedom from stress, and an expanded sense of one's inner space.

SHAKTI YOGA introduces you to the 1500-year-old Tantric tradition of using sacred sound to stimulate the flow of the body's subtle energy centers, called chakras. Balancing your chakras by singing specific Tantric chants enhances your senses, heightens sensuality and physical pleasure, and helps you to establish a deep connection to your physical body and to the earth. Russill Paul masterfully blends the tremendous power of these ancient chants with an ensemble of traditional Indian and contemporary instrumentation.

SHAKTI YOGA is a sensual and energizing listening experience. You can delve even deeper into this tradition and actually begin chanting these powerful mantras along with the recording. The enclosed instructions will teach you the actual Shakti mantras as well as meditation techniques to help you gain the most benefit from this unique practice.

5 out of 5 stars Great music.......2007-07-13

upbeat, groovy yoga music. keeps the class interested. many students have purchased it for personal listening.

5 out of 5 stars Spiritual and Exotic.......2007-01-12

"Once you taste fresh coconut surrounded by the reflection of the dancing divine, it is hard to go back in the box or deny the energy of life that awaits us. Music is a form of audible prana (energy) that can transform, energize, and return us to our inner substance...leaving the hard shell of thinking mind aside."

Thoughtful, spiritual and exotic, this music weaves a spell of peace over your soul. The first time you listen to this CD it only introduces you to the main rhythms, but as you continue to listen, new worlds open up in delicate nuances of beauty.

This is the type of music that infuses you with its subtlety until you become part of the dance of life. It is unique in the way it first asks to be observed from a distance, then invites you closer and then finally moves from within you as it evokes a flowing connection between sound and movement.

Tracks:

707 Delight-Kirtan Mix - Worshipful and awakening, you begin to feel the yoga mood.

You Are We Am I: Blue Mix - Vibratory elements that harmonize and synchronize flow through you like a refreshing breeze.

Chandini Chowk - Waves of celebratory sound and acoustic drums with elements of the exotic like a beach vacation or the slow sway of trees in a breeze.

Zindagi - A reverberating track with elements of playful rebound.

Deep South - A somewhat jazzy offering with a sensual appeal.

Roots East Dub - Subtle drums with relaxing waves of emotion.

Tenfold - Relaxing and cleansing with spiritual dimensions.

Joi - Playfully spirals you out into the unknown.

Ke Lei Ma La - Oceanic textures and deep reverberations invite you into deep pools of sound.

Sangit Dub - You can almost imagine walking beneath a full moon and hearing the strains of this track off in the distance, mingling with nature's orchestra.

Invocation - A blending of vocals so beautiful they melt you like a warm embrace of sound.

Durga Pahimam - Deeply relaxing and nurturing...completes the soul cleansing and fills you with a feeling of peace.

Shiva Rea creates some of the most beautiful spiritual electronica I've heard in this lifetime and this is a compilation of music she enjoys.

Artists featured include: Rara Avis, tj Rehmi (from London), MIDIval PunditZ (from Delhi), Spy from Cairo (from London), Layo Paskin (Germany), Ian Sandler, Layne Redmond, Tumbara, Antion, PFL, Shanti Shivani and Jai Uttal.

Shiva Rea teaches Vinyasa Flow Yoga and you may also want to look for her beautiful peaceful Yoga DVDs:

Solar Flow
Sun Salutations
Yoga Shakti
Lunar Flow Yoga

Shiva Rea is deeply connected with the flow of life and embraces a soul cleansing spiritual dimension in her work that brings us closer to what we know to be home, that peaceful place of inner reflection and beauty.

This CD would be perfect for Yoga or Meditation or a combination of dance, yoga and meditation. Due to the way the music flows you can fully experience all the levels of the Yoga experience. First, you warm up and feel energized and then you sink into a relaxation that ends with happiness and peace. Truly beautiful!

5 out of 5 stars My new favorite.......2006-03-19

I own Shiva's DVD "Yoga Shakti" and loved the soundtrack, which is what led me to buy this CD. It's perfect for your home practice (just put the CD in and go) or for just hanging out (I like to play it while cooking). :o)

3 out of 5 stars a good alternative option for yoga music.......2006-03-14

Some of them sound pretty energetic and vivid. My favorite one is the last 2 songs. Very soothing.

5 out of 5 stars I love this music!!!!.......2005-12-09

I just purchased this CD because the music sounded good. Not because I'm a person wanting music for yoga practice; not because I want eastern music... just because it sounded good. And when I played it I fell madly in love with it! More! More! More!

I'm quite sure that this would be great for yoga, spacing out, doing housework.... or more interesting things (even better for those, i'm thinking...)... seriously.

For this kind of music, I'd easily pay double. This is an incredible compilation and I highly recommend it.

We purchased this because we had heard it before and knew it had the Lord's Prayer in the tongue Jesus would have spoken in. What a song! Chilling and beautiful all at the same time.

5 out of 5 stars Shakti Yoga.......2002-05-30

If you practice yoga and you want the ideal music to do it with, almost anything by Russill Paul fills the bill. I've done hatha yoga over the years and started doing kundalini yoga 5 months ago. I took a chance on this album and it's GREAT to do kundalini yoga to. "BHAVA YOGA" and "NADA YOGA" are also great music to aid in kundalini practice. The "SHABDA YOGA" album is excellent but probably not so for doing the static asanas of hatha yoga or the dynamic movements of kundalini. I stumbled on a goldmine when I found the music of Russill Paul.

5 out of 5 stars Skakti Yoga by Russill Paul.......2001-01-16

An excellent recording of sacred mantras designed to stimulate the rise of kundalini to accelerate spiritual progress and stimulate healing on the physical, mental and astral planes. A must for any collector of sacred mantra. I frequently play the music during a workout on my exercise bike and notice afterward that I am not at all fatigued. Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars heavenly music.......2002-09-12

A truly magnificient album with both depth and beauty. Angelika has a wonderful voice combining innocence with technical skilfullness. And although this is a "new Age" influenced version of the old hindu-chants she really stays close to the roots. Truly transmiting a sense of something holy. There has been some great mantra-recordings in recent years with artist like Krishna Das and Deva Premal, none the less Angelika is somehow in a league of her own. I simply love this record. Great for both healing and meditation.

5 out of 5 stars Peaceful Devotion.......2001-12-30

Mellow and restful voice and music, professionally sung and played; I shall use this disc for meditation, healing sessions and background music for daily activities. Westernized in style while still retaining sacred intent. I bought this disc without hearing it first and am quite pleased with this selection. Om, Ananda Rasa!
