The Art of Mantra and Yoga Chanting Foundation Workshops

Aims

Initiated in 2002 the FMS Programme is intended for those Yoga students or teachers who, having completed 
an Introductory Mantra and Yoga Chanting study course, wish to explore further the primary principles and teachings on Mantra and Yoga Chanting and how they can inspire and guide our personal Mantra and Yoga Chanting practice and study, as well as our teaching work.

Each Foundation weekend offers in-depth practice of Mantra and Yoga Chanting which builds on the theory and practice principles taught within the Introductory Workshops. It is an opportunity for a Yoga student or teacher from any Yoga background or style to experience an in-depth training in the Art of Mantra and Yoga Chanting through:
