Vedic Chanting is the ancient art of transmitting the Veda-s orally, from teacher to student, in a strictly prescribed way. This practice hones your listening skills tremendously, improves memory, works to extend the breath fully, and can lead to a deep meditative state.
We will learn several Śānti pāthah-s or Peace Invocations: Namo Brahmane; Taccham yoravrnimahe; and Samno mitra (2. version). In these chants, we are asking for pacification and the alleviation of suffering brought on by natural forces; by our environment/those around us; and by ourselves.
This course is open to beginners and experienced chanters alike.
Join us for this joyful experience!

As we refine our yoga practice, we become increasingly aware of not only how our body changes, but our energy and quality of attention as well. We will highlight some key asana adaptations and also focus on our ability to observe, apply and adapt the more subtle tools of yoga such as breath, nyasa and sound in practice. The application of these various tools can have a profound effect on one’s overall system and can be of great benefit for group and private classes.
