MANTRA YOGA & MEDITATION

Mantra Yoga is the yoga of sound vibration.  Sanskrit is refered to as the language of the Gods, called the Matrika.  To open to the maginficance within, chanting mantra both internally and outloud can bring great concentration, or dharana.  Many of us my practice yoga asana which gives great benefit to the body, mantra is like asana for your mind.  To fix the mind in one place is dharana or concentration, yet this practice seems almost impossible.  Not with mantra.  Mantra is that which libereates the mind.  From what you might ask does my mind need to be liberated from?  The constant changing states, clinging, attachments, aversions and identification with the ego.  

In this workshop we will begin with Yoga Asana practice to help steady the body, pranayama to steady the prana, and finally mantra to steady the mind.  You will leave the class with a mantra you can practice at home, and a deeper understanding of this science we can mantra vidya.
