namasté, may all beings be happy & free... have an easy time everyone

music is something moving, the proof of the greek quote "panta rei - always flowing" and when the further ingredients are devotion and presence, something magic can happen, something that has been described by yogis as "ananda - bliss". this state is nothing far, fixed or framed. it is the state, when intuition, strength and spirit harmonise in the now. harmonies are the foundation of music - and so we come together to spontaniously experience, what the word itself actually describes: harmony (greek: armonia: to bring together; the union of opposites to one whole). so the greek root of the word, that describes the union of opposites is nothing other than something very familiar to us: yoga!

and silvio's beautiful comment on his time at the kretashala

petros is advanced jivamukti yoga teacher, lives, teaches and sings in munich, germany and gives workshops, kirtans and retreats throughout the planet. he wants to inspire his students to do whatever you do in full awareness, and to do it with your heart. so we can always return to that place where 'independently from outer circumstance' we always will find peace: within our hearts. many times we'll meet obstacles on this path: our intellect, our body, our expectations and preferences. yoga gives us the possibility to free ourselves from these hindrances that keep us from experiencing our true nature that, what we really are: free, wild, full of love and joy without conditioning, without fear. he is thankful for all teachers and circumstance that give us the chance to experience this feeling of unity, of non-separateness to eventually learn to accept the greatest of all teachers: our life itself. OMshanti.

it's all about a vivid, honest feeling of being connected. listening, singing, dancing means resting in the lap of mother nature. there is no better way to feel this safe, sweet experience of oneness. and that's pretty much all there is to say for me. don't want to make it complicated. take it easy - trust your intuitive perception, and sing! it doesn't matter if it's a silent song within your heart or an aria, a lullabye or just the glimpse of some melody. there is only this language we all understand. (i remember my dog toto, going into deep "meditation" beneath my piano for years and years. that was his place to be.) where sound is, there we are. we are that!
