Yoga, Breath and Stress management

with BRI. SHOBANA

This wkshp will explore Yoga,breath and stress management through the practice of Amrita Yoga. Amrita Yoga  was born from the divine resolve and unconditional compassion of renowned spiritual leader, humanitarian, Maha Yogini, Satguru Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi (Amma).  A traditional school of Hatha Yoga upholding Vedic principles, Amrita Yoga incorporates Amma’s teachings and integrates the four different paths of yoga, cultivating physical, mental and spiritual upliftment.  Focusing on awareness with heart-centered intention, the goal is to transcend the physical asana practice to deepen your own self-awareness and the inter-connectedness of all life.

 KIRTAN

THE POWER OF MANTRA

With APARNA & FRIENDS

Based in one of the most ancient sacred music traditions Kirtan is call-and-response chanting performed in India's bhakti (devotional) path of yoga.

Collective chanting of Sanskrit mantras, bhajans and chants  raises the consciousness, unites hearts across all cultures, removes barriers and creates peace both within ourselves and on Earth.

As much music as magic, chants create sacred vibrations which uplift the listener and charge atmosphere with positive energy. These Sanskrit chants are said to be filled with power, and each is said, has its own unique and positive effect. From opening the mind & the heart, to lifting the spirits these sacred songs will bliss you out.

'When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.'

- Rumi

Born & raised in India, Aparna has been singing Kirtan all her life. She sings and plays both traditional chants from India as well as her own compositions in various languages. Between each chant she enjoys sharing mystical poetry from the sacred voices of the East & the West.
