MUMBAI: We have grown up learning that music and yoga go hand in hand. Keeping this under consideration, Sa Re Ga Ma Music Academy (SMA) decided to execute this in a unique way. This academy teaches music and yoga under the same roof and honouring both the art form celebrated World Music Day and World Yoga Day today on 21 June.

Sa Re Ga Ma Music Academy consists of an in-depth syllabus of detailed course for vocal music along with teaching yoga as its utmost importance. As music and yoga have a strong connection, the academy encourages its students to follow Yoga that not only rejuvenates one’s mind but also induces a peaceful mind, a foundation of Indian Classical Music. A course has been designed by the academy for incorporating techniques of yoga that complement musical aspirations.

Speaking on the occasion, Sa Re Ga Ma Music Academy Dean Nagendra Dubey shared, “The design of the courses is devised keeping in mind the interconnection between yoga and music. Be it intermediate or advanced course, we make sure that the courses have yoga and music are integrated. It’s not just a coincidence but a fact that yoga and music fall in the same realm. The response to both the forms is a validation for the love and interest people have for music and yoga.”
