Snatam Kaur is an American singer, peace activist, and author raised in the Sikh and Kundalini Yoga tradition. She transforms traditional Sikh chants of India into contemporary sounds that appeal to the modern ear and awaken an ancient yearning in the soul.

For more than 20 years, she studied with and grew up in the presence of her spiritual teacher, Yogi Bhajan, while he was in his physical form, learning the essence of Naad Yoga, a form of yoga focusing on sacred sound. At the core of this practice is an essential experience of peace and healing which has helped her music to be accessible to people from all walks of life. 

Through Naad Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, and meditation—both at live events and in recordings—Snatam offers people tools for a daily experience of inner peace. Her latest Grammy-nominated CD, Beloved, is a sound medicine tool kit—each track has a specific healing effect. Her book, Original Light: The Morning Practice of Kundalini Yoga, is a compassionate and supportive guide to creating a personal daily spiritual practice.
