INSTRUCTOR
GAAYATRI is a practicing Naad Yogini descending from one of the last living lineages of Naad Yogis. Her lineage, the Rampur-Maihar Senia Gharana, is one of the last living lines of music that can be traced back to Mian Tansen, a legendary musician who bears training from the greatest Naad Yogi of living memory – Swami Haridas. It is one of the last living traditions of Naad Yoga where music is passed down to students as a deeply spiritual practice, and practiced as a lifestyle. She is the first pure vocalist of this lineage since the 16th century and was trained to represent this rare vocal practice in its most authentic form.
She studied under the Late Ustad Ali Akbar Khan beginning her training with him in the traditional Guru-Shishya parampara at the age of 4, studying with him for her whole childhood until his passing. Gaayatri’s unique style is characterized by its roots in the oldest form of Raaga music through Vedic Dhrupad.
