Intro to Sanskrit for Yoga Teachers (and anyone else who is interested!)

In this workshop created for Yoga teachers and anyone else with an interest in Sanskrit, mantras or chanting, you will be introduced to the 50 seed sounds of the Sanskrit alphabet. Sanskrit is an energetic language. Each “bija”- seed sound- carries its own particular vibrational quality. It is a precise and sophisticated language with specific rules for pronunciation which do not vary. Because each of the seed sounds resonate with its own vibrational qualities, through proper pronunciation you will enhance your personal practice and, for teachers, elevate your teaching to a new level.

The alphabet, or “varna mala” is learned through oral repetition and chanting. Each of the seed sounds corresponds to one of the petals of the 7 major chakras (energy centers). Thus, by chanting the bija mantras, one is also activating and balancing the entire chakra system.

Summer Sunday Kirtan!

Summer Sunday Kirtan!

Please join me for an evening of chanting the many names of the divine. Kirtan takes the form of simple call-and-response chants, or mantras, which embed themselves deeply into the heart and the psyche, infusing the spirit with a multitude of feelings and emotions- longing, joy, sadness, ecstasy and all the many varying shades in between. The practice is simple and beautiful, the experience can be profound.

What is kirtan? Jai Uttal says it beautifully, "Kirtan is the calling, the crying, the reaching across infinite space — digging into the heart’s deepest well to touch and be touched by the Divine Presence.

Kirtan is singing over and over the many names of God and the Goddess, the multi-colored rainbow manifestations of the One. It is said that there is no difference between the name and that which is being named, and as the words roll off our lips in song, the Infinite is invoked, invited, made manifest in our hearts."

The kirtan will be followed by a potluck for those who wish to stay longer. Please bring finger food or a dish to share.

Suggested donation- $10- $20.
