About Me

Alanna Kaivalya has had a life-long fascination with sound that encouraged her to start singing and explore music at a very early age. She was born with a hearing impairment, but never saw that as a detraction from the vibration and sound that she felt pulsing within her and all around her. Also known as the JivaDiva, Alanna teaches yoga worldwide and produces the Yoga Jam podcast which garners over half a million listeners. Her album, Shine, will be released during the summer of 2007, and her book on Nada (sound) Yoga will be released late this year.

Or, you can download the album through iTunes
