Vedic Chanting
Strengthen your mind, transform your life
The Veda-s are the oldest and most foundational texts of yoga philosophy. Vedic Chant is a particular style of chanting that focuses on a direct experience of tapas (intensity) and dhāranā (concentration).
Using the same methods of instruction that have been passed down for hundreds of generations, learning Vedic Chant is an exploration of listening and sound, and an integrating experience for body, mind and breath. The ancient texts are beautiful and inspiring, and the act of chanting brings life to this study, as well as to the person listening and reciting.

Sanskrit
Unlock the vibrational sounds of Sanskrit
Sanskrit is a vibrational poetic language used in ancient scriptures and chants. And it is the language of yoga. To really understand yoga, one must understand the many Sanskrit non-translatable words that comprise many of the yogic themes.
Sanskrit also carries meaning in the sounds that make up its alphabet, the building blocks of all the words and scriptures. To unlock the transformational properties of the words, one must know proper pronunciation.
Curious about Sanskrit? Private and group classes are available.
