Yoga Song is a story of transformation and redemption in 23 lyric vignettes from Dr. Gregory Ormson. Yoga Song’s author states there’s a song at the center of all time, being, and structure, and there’s a song in the center of yoga.
The instrument of a yoga song is the yogi’s body which includes: mind, spirit, emotion, energy, and consciousness. In a breathcentric yoga practice, yogis experience its transforming and therapeutic power where ordinary moments stretch into extraordinary.

From chapter 3
Yoga’s song doesn’t just make a song with us, it opens us and makes us ready to receive a new song. This is the way of yoga’s song composition in, of, and through every asana in motion and stillness.
In a melody of motion, balanced by stillness, I open to gravity’s shaping no matter how I fail. I do yoga linked to breath in the moment. When I’m prepared, yoga shapes me to receptivity where I willingly receive it as an augury of a new song, a blend of stillness, movement, and mindfulness, generated by asana and meditation.
I stay with yoga because l have faith that by working my beautiful, yet wounded human project, I will discover some missing link or balm of body and mind taught by a messenger from another plane leading me to have faith in the ongoing reformation.
The faith I hold is unfettered by a particular religious outlook; rather, it’s my trust in the power of being and the potentiality for living a generative life. When practicing yoga, both meditatively and physically, its song works to empty my ego and prepare me as a vessel for filling and transformation.
It’s the yoga song getting into my bones and my response is to do asana and balance this motion with stillness. Each song has its quiet moment, its repose where silence and space become part of the song. It is this way with yoga too. A yoga song is in stillness at the center.
