Latest Release: The Heart and The Matter
The Heart and The Matter is the latest album from Ram Dass, created in collaboration with Sukhmani and Grecco Buratto. Designed as the complete musical accompaniment for a full yoga class, the album carries listeners from warm-up vitality and rhythmic flow through expansive, ambient passages, ultimately guiding into stillness.
