Arlo Guthrie. Singer / songwriter of "Alice's Restaurant". Legendary folk musician of Woodstock fame.

“Sound may well be the undiscovered red realm for the salvation of our wayward human species. The sages of India have known this for millennia. In The Yoga of Sound, Russill Paul presents a comprehensive and accessible summary of this ancient tradition and shows us how we can incorporate those time-honored practices into our overly visual and busy Western lives. This book is a vital gift for our times.” Paul Winter, renowned jazz musician and founder of the Paul Winter Consort

“Music is woven throughout nature from our own DNA to the galaxies, and that is why it is a source of transformation and wisdom. Russill Paul is a master guide in this domain.

"Russill Paul is one of the most exceptionally gifted musicians in the world today.

Wayne Teasdale. Author of "The Mystic Heart." Spokesperson for a Parliament of the Worlds Religions.

“Russill Paul, master teacher and deep student of sound, spirituality, and consciousness, gifts us with an in-depth understanding of consciousness and access to it by way of ancient practices that can heal and support, energize, and deepen the soul’s journey.
