Video of Johann Kotze on his yoga practice
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Johann Kotze Music & Yoga (@johannkotzemusicandyoga) I was interested in self-realisation before I started yoga, or even before I knew the word. When I taught myself yoga, from a book, much of what interested me became an actual practice. Practice as opposed to theory. What appealed […]
A yoga of sound practice
After years and years of being intrigued by how I may bridge the gape between my yoga world and music world I may have grown into a way for my yoga and music to come together in a combined practice. For me the music has to meet the yoga, and be seamlessly integrated into the […]
My passion to champion yoga
My yoga on tv appearance, and my wish for yoga to be incorporated into education.

In “Sacred On Earth” I combine my musical and yoga practices to create an immersive experience of yoga music, mantra, sounding, soundjourney, breathing, meditation, and […]
Stand in the Light

My family and I were in a group of eight Cape Townians, and […]
A Mudra Practice

This advanced yogic practice is not difficult to do, yet sustained, skilled, regular practice may produce astounding health benefits. Mudras are specific hand positions that regulate, focus and distribute the flow of life force, or prana, within the body. The neural, and […]
