The Yoga of Sound, Russill Paul
Bhanu comes from an interesting academic background. From a postgraduate degree in yogic science in Lonavala, and a master’s degree in therapy in Bangalore, to continued studies at Yoga Vedanta Forest Academy, Bhanu continues to learn. He has an insatiable thirst for knowledge and he inspires this curiosity in the hearts and minds of his students. Bhanu moved from the foothills of the Himalayas to Rishikesh, on the banks of the Ganga River, to begin teaching yoga. His teachings focus predominantly on philosophy, sound and meditation. Bhanu teaches yogic practices of authentic traditional Indian origins. After years of research in the field of sound healing, Bhanu started to work as a sound therapist with Tibetan singing bowls and other instruments.
He began by performing weekly sound healing concerts at a local ashram in Rishikesh. Each concert featured a combination of sound and vibrational tones, achieved with the use of Himalayan singing bowls, didgeridoos, gongs, binary beats, bells, chimes, sounds from nature, and experimental instruments that he himself had made. As his concerts grew in popularity, his audiences grew in size.
Bhanu went on to develop a 3-day Himalayan Singing Bowl Workshop which he developed into a 50-Hour Teacher Training over time. It wasn’t long before he had developed Level II and III courses for students who wanted to venture more deeply into sound as medicine. Like his concerts, his courses grew in popularity, attracting students from all over the world and the Himalayan Academy of Sound Healing was born. Bhanu is passionate about his relationship with PURE Yoga and his growth and influence in Hong Kong.

Megan was introduced to yoga in an Ashtanga Vinyasa class during her physical theatre degree training in 2011. She favours consistent Ashtanga practice under the guidance of senior Mysore teachers at PURE. She hopes to grow personally and professionally in the Ashtanga method. Megan is a detail-oriented teacher who gives direct cues and careful manual adjustments, and her students will understand the connection between breath and movement and experience more proprioception.
Megan first met Bhanu in 2019. He was her yoga philosophy teacher and the two became friends. A year later, she travelled to India to study Level I Sound Healing at his school, the Himalayan Academy of Sound Healing. She continues to share his Nada Yoga teachings in her private and group classes at PURE.
