A beautiful journey of exploration into the concepts of mantra, mudra and Indian mythology, along with some insights into the ancient cultural practices, with practical application in the modern world. This is an interactive session including mantra chanting, use of mudras and mindfulness. No prior experience required.

Mantra and mudra enable the brain to remain present in the moment, as we are focused on the next audible sound and our connection to the body and breath. The phonetic sounds we use to chant are made up of carefully selected letters of the Sanskrit alphabet, which have a specific meaning, a possible resonance in the body, and also support an alignment to the breath. 

Mantra can be considered an extension of mudra; each mudra represents certain elements and combining these two together, we increase the holistic awareness, the way the body and mind interacts and the flow of energy throughout our body, through breath, sound and fingertips.

“Essentially, mudras are a form of non-verbal communication – an ‘external expression of inner resolve'” (Eckhart Tolle).  

The use of mantra can be very effective in terms of creating inner harmony in the body, stability and peace of mind, as well as stopping the restless and easily distracted ‘monkey mind’ which makes a more frequent appearance within us all, with the way we now live in the West.

Workshops

Sometimes a 75-minute class just doesn’t feel long enough to delve deeply into certain topics, so I am interested in offering a 2 – 2.5 hour group master class or workshop, online or in person, focusing on a particular theme or topic. For example, breaking down a specific pose category or working with a vayu (the direction or movement of energy through the body), or looking at pranayama and kriya meditation.
