Poranguí on Serving the Music and the Yoga of Sound

Today on the Leadership and Yoga podcast, I talk with Poranguí about the power of music to heal, awaken, and reconnect us to ourselves. In this episode, Poranguí shares what it feels like to improvise music in front of thousands of people with no set plan, trusting whatever wants to come through in the moment. We talk ritual, creativity, flow states, consciousness, ancestors, collective human connection, nervous system regulation, coherence as leaders, and music as medicine. Poranguí reminds us that interbeing is how we find meaning in life, and he leads by example. This is what the yoga of sound really means. If music has ever made you feel something beyond words, this episode is for you.Music in intro credit to Poranguí, "Amanecer" Find Poranguí on instagram:@porangui Poranguí events, tour, retreats:https://www.porangui.com/ Poranguí on YouTubePoranguí on SpotifyTechnology fail at Envision festival we mentioned:https://youtu.be/otkbFvz8Fy4?si=yV5o1OQGib-SbWLH&t=4758 Patreon: Leadership and Yoga CLUB.
