Introductory Workshop Training Overview

The Arts of Mantra and Yoga Chanting are oral learning and meditative practices from the tradition of Indian spiritual and psychological teachings and practice. As well as being a key way to learn Yoga teachings through absorption, they integrate body, voice, mind and emotions in the quest for unity with the source from which sound originates.  It is the art of learning to listen and recite with confidence.

The role of this workshop is to offer a course for students and teachers interested in learning the skills for themselves and for others in the art of Sound, Mantra and Yoga Chanting through:

  • Appreciating the core principles which inspire the use of Sound, Mantra and Yoga Chanting practices.
  • Application of Sound and Mantra respecting differences in background, vocal ability and musical experience.
  • Learning techniques to help students find their chanting voice and develop their breathing with and for Sound and Mantra.
  • Being able to choose appropriate postures according to the energy and application of the Sound or Mantra.
  • Integrating Sound, Mantra and Chanting into existing asana, pranayama and meditational practices.
