Alex Nason is not a doctor or a medical professional. He was falsely diagnosed in January of 2009 with a malignant, highly aggressive cancer, given two years to live, walked the walk of a terminal cancer patient, and examined every possible healing modality before being notified (on April Fool’s Day no less) of the misdiagnosis. These events inspired his compassionate desire to share his knowledge about alternative healing with others.

Fundamentally, the union extends to one’s spirit. A key function of yoga is to open the center of the spine to recognize one’s natural power. The Seven Sounds of Creation correlate with the cakras (chakras) and support an exceptional way to focus attention sequentially along the spine. Chanting simple, classical sounds may assist one to connect with breath. One may realize increased concentration and create a link between the timelessness of yogic wisdom and your own life. We will investigate the interconnection of dynamic sequenced postures (vinyasas), breath (pranayama), and simple chanting as a gateway to arrive at the inner realm of contemplation.
