Music from Todd | Ashaya Yoga

The Music of
Todd Norian

Founder of Ashaya Yoga

Music opens the heart to feel more and be more

As a spiritual practice, music carries the vibration of the infinite deep into the heart and mind of the listener. In the highest sense, you could say that music is the source, where we all come from. I think of music as the solvent for the heart, that opens the heart to feel more and be more.

Since ancient times, sacred music and chanting has been used as prayer, for healing, and for relaxation. In the yogic tradition the source of all music and all sound vibration comes from the mantra Om.

I invite you to enjoy the music below. You can also purchase my music in MP3 format or as a physical CD.

If you listen closely enough, and if you can help yourself from falling asleep (which would be the highest compliment to me, btw!), you’ll hear my jazz influence come through the rhythms, harmonies, and melodies. I studied Classical Music at University of Michigan, then Jazz at University of Miami where I earned my Bachelors of Music degree in Jazz Studies.

Once I began yoga, most of my music slowed down greatly because I slowed down inside myself. My music is the expression of the depth of my meditation and yoga practices and the immense gratitude I have for the infinite power of the universe to heal.

"Bija has been a source of comfort on many occasions in my life. I was first introduced to your music during my Yoga Teacher Training many years ago. It was a welcoming sound, setting the tone for our sessions. It showed up again during an Ayurvedic consultation, a comforting beacon during some troubling times. Bija and your music gives me peace while driving, meditating or at any time my soul needs a sense of calm.

Over the years, I have played Bija many times during my classes both privately and with students. Most notably was during classes I held in my home. You see, my dog, Sandy Bell liked to greet everyone and wanted to be very involved in the classes. She would lay quietly anytime Bija was played. When she became a distraction to the students, I would put her in my bedroom during class. I played Bija on a repeat loop and she would relax quickly and remained calm. When the time came for her to cross over, Bija played softly in her final moments and eased her transition. Even the vet commented on how soothing the music was for her as well.

Todd, thank you, thank you, thank you for creating such beautiful music! It has brought great comfort and peace into my life, my classes and most of all my beloved Sandy Bell. "
