Many find the topic of meditation to be daunting, scary and just plain difficult. This class introduces the method of mantra and how mantra can be a valuable tool to enter into the state of meditation.

Bijan Mantras (seed mantras in Sanskrit) are introduced with different techniques to apply in a meditation practice. We also review the use of Japa, the constant repetition of a mantra, and learn about the Mala Beads and how to use them.

Lastly, students will learn the Gyatri Mantra. This mantra is from the Vedas and carries significant power, wisdom, and Shakti (creative life force) that will bring a positive effect to the practitioner. The workshop ends with the group chanting the mantra together for 108 repetitions, the length of one mala. This is a wonderful, magical experience when done in a group!

This session is accessible for ALL BODY TYPES, we will mostly be sitting.  

Recommended Props:   Blankets or a chair, anything to help you sit with ease. We will mostly be sitting for this session.
Malas are not required, however if you have one, bring it. I am happy to introduce how to use a mala for pracrtice.
