USTAD USMAN KHAN
was born into a life of music. A sixth generation
musician, third-generation sitar master
and the grandson of Ustad Rehmat Khan
(who in the 19th century codified the sitar
into its modern-day form), he received tutelage
starting at the age of six from his father,
Ustad Abdul Karim Khan of Dharwad. He is
known for his emotional interpretations and
for combining vocal and instrumental techniques
on the sitar. He has toured widely
throughout India and in France, Germany,
Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Australia, Japan,
Malaysia, Singapore, Sri Lanka, South Korea,
and the U.S. and Canada.

PURE YOGA:
MUSIC OF THE MYSTIC
contains two classical Indian Ragas:
Yaman and Charukeshi. Ragas blend
seamlessly into your yoga practice as
they perfectly compliment Yoga Asanas
(postures). The music is open-ended
and flowing. It begins slow to anchor the
practitioner into their bodies and builds to
greater depths of power, just as the
yoga practice does. The classical Indian
instrumentation of sitar, tabla and
tambura is designed to guide the listener
into deeper states of awareness, making
this the perfect soundtrack for any
variation of moving meditation or healing
arts practice.
