Yoga Magazine (UK): Yoga from the North Pole to the Nightclub

Canadian musician and yogini Parvati tours the UK this fall. She shares with Yoga Magazine how a life-changing North Pole journey taught her to see yoga everywhere, and inspires her latest album and show.
How did you become interested in Yoga?
My grandmother meditated daily and practiced yoga. Despite hardships, she glowed. I knew that that light was home.

What is the relation between Yoga and music?
Nada yoga is a means to God-realization through music. Composing teaches me to quiet my mind and listen while serving the creative flow. My most potent works arise from stillness, even fierce dance anthems.
