Vedic Chanting is yoga, it is concentration, meditation, it is prāṇāyāma, it is jñāna and it is bhakti. It is a commitment to learning something very deep.
I am asked what the Vedas have to do with Yoga. Well, the Vedas contain it, the Vedas are themselves Yoga. That is what this is all about.
That said, you don’t need anything to practice and learn. If you want to know something in you that will surprise you a lot, this will surely interest you. It is not easy, but it is enriching. It is not quick, but it is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.
Chanting controls and transforms the Prāṇā, it is a feeling of merging with the Universal vibration, and it is rediscovering oneself anew in a practice very little known in the West.
In these classes you will learn how to pronounce Sanskrit, you will learn the correct way to recite some Vedic mantras, such as the popular Gāyatrī, as it was taught in ancient times, unchanged, orally and following the rules of a South Indian lineage.
You don’t need to know how to sing, or how to tune, in Vedic Chanting we only use 3 notes not 7 as in music , this makes it accessible to everyone!
Chanting classes are conducted seated, either on the floor or on a chair. It is important to feel comfortable so that you are able to focus only on the sound. All chants will be taught through a “call and response” methodology, using the aid of chant texts. The basic rules of Chanting, along with general meanings of chants will be explained.
These classes are for you if you want to learn more about mantra practice. If you are a yoga teacher or student and you want to introduce Chanting in your classes or you want to work with mantras in your personal practice
