The practice of music is one of the 8 limbs of yoga.

If you have young children that you would like to introduce to music, Kāren recommends attending the lesson and learn an instrument yourself. Ukelele is an easy option. That way your children will be attracted to practising by following your example.

It’s important to have patience and kindness with yourself when studying music.
