Our Story
Nyck & Rachel
are musicians and yoga teachers based in Byron Bay, Australia. While studying yoga in New York, Rachel learned the potency of mantra from her teacher. She brought these ancient chants home, where together with Nyck lovingly set them to music, and with producer Kamal Engels crafted soulful, heartfelt arrangements. Their albums Rasa Lila, Sita Ram, and One Drop of Love carry these powerful mantras worldwide. Uplifting devotional music for yoga, meditation or any moment of wonder and peacefulness.
