Mantras: Voice, Vibration & Intention.
Step into the ancient practice of mantra and discover the power of sound as a tool for focus, healing and inner connection. This immersive 4-hour workshop blends history, technique and direct experience making it accessible to beginners and deeply enriching for Yoga teachers and facilitators.
We’ll begin with an exploration of the history and origins of mantras, looking at how sacred sound has been used for thousands of years across spiritual traditions to support meditation, ritual and transformation. From there, we’ll gently prepare the body and voice through a guided vocal warm-up, helping you feel grounded, confident and at ease with sounding.
At the heart of the workshop, we’ll explore Bija (seed) mantras associated with the chakras, chanting each sound in sequence to experience its unique vibrational quality and relationship to the energetic body. We’ll then move into well-known traditional mantras, chanting together both in unison and in the classic call-and-response (Kirtan yoga) style creating a shared, rhythmic and deeply connective group experience.
For yoga teachers, movement facilitators and space holders, the workshop also includes practical guidance on how to integrate mantra and simple chanting into your own classes. Whether as an opening, closing or meditative element, offering accessible ways to share this practice with confidence and integrity.
No previous chanting or singing experience is required. You don’t need to bring anything other than your voice and your curiosity. Come as you are and leave with embodied tools you can return to again and again for your own practice and to support others through the power of sound.
