Dharam Singh brings a unique and earthy perspective to the Kundalini Yoga community that is inspired by broad exposure to Native American Shamanism, Tibetan Buddhism and Reichian Body-centered Therapy.
Dharam Singh hails from NYC, where, as a child in the 60′s one could hear, on any given summer night, the rich rhythms and chants of Africa brought by immigrants from Cuba and the Caribbean blending with the sounds of Motown, R&B, and Jazz. Years later, as Hip Hop culture would emerge, he witnessed the role music and dance could serve, not only as a form of expression, but as a pressure relief valve for tensions. He spent 10 years doing radio with NPR in Fairbanks, AK, further expanding his knowledge and experience of an extremely wide range of music from many different cultures. Now, his passion for the transformative power of sound and music has found a place in the use of the Gong as a tool for deep healing. He has “gleaned” a great deal from, and studied with Richard Hite, Iasos, Yogi Bhajan, Ed Mann and Michael Bettine.
Having walked the path of Sikh Dharma, with Yogi Bhajan, for more than 30 years he has come to more fully understand that sound and energy is the essence of the order of everything and that people can find peace and wellness simply through laying down, relaxing and listening.

Philip / Sat Nam Singh is a long time student, new teacher: Kundalini Yoga has been a feature of his ife since 1983 when he began studying with Gurucharan Singh Khalsa. This Yoga has been a good, trusted and patient friend, always there when he wants or needs it, never complaining when he neglects or appears to abandon it.
