Yuval took us on a fascinating journey into numerous ancient traditions—including Sufism, Kabbala, and Nada Yoga—and illuminated how these lineages used music, chanting, movement, and meditation to instill peace and bring about healing.

Meditations on Sound from Nada Yoga and Ayurveda
Students will learn about the transformational power of Nada Yoga—the yoga of sound. While Ayurveda is concerned with restoring the balance of energies for achieving well-being and good health, Nada Yoga is an ancient metaphysical Hindu system that uses sound and breathwork to bring the experience of unity between the inner and outer worlds. Through chanting, meditation, and breathwork, these practices decrease depression, anxiety, and anger.
Meditations on Sound from Zen Buddhism and Ayurveda
In this class students will continue to explore Ayurvedic sound practices. We will then also learn how to mindfully breathe, listen, and chant as practiced in Zen Buddhism. Inspired by Yuval Ron’s work with Zen Buddhist priest Hirokazu Kosaka, as well as meditative movement masters from Japan, this class will teach practices that enhance memory, cognition, and awareness while settling the mind and spirit.

Students will be guided through sacred musical modes and movements that can be used to transcend the limits of reality and reach the state of divine unity.
Brain Entrainment
Students will explore the science of sound and how certain frequencies are able to affect the listener’s mood and inner imaginal realm. Brain entrainment—the process of synchronizing brain waves to a specific rhythm—has been shown to help listeners deepen relaxation, improve quality of sleep, and enhance general well-being.
The Power of Sound: Conclusion and Celebration
