Mantra is an ancient practice in yoga - something that you can can practice anywhere and anytime that is so effective at quietening our mind.  In fact, one of the literal translations of the word mantra is “a tool to free the mind.” Mantra is known to relieve anxiety, depression, anger, and stress and help you to find a place of deep tranquility.  Magic!  Are you intrigued?  

Katie of Durga Mindfulness is passionate about mantras having not only studied the practices extensively in India, she chants mantra every single day in her own practice.  In The Mantra Lab series, she will explore a number of ancient mantras so you can deepen your practice and connect to the history of yoga.  This is open to yoga teachers and students looking to delve into these timeless practices.  

Our first Mantra Lab will focus on the Gayatri Mantra which is one of the oldest and most sacred mantras.  The Gayatri Mantra is mentioned in both The Upanishads and The Bhagavad Gita, two important yoga scriptures that are over 2,000 years old.  This mantra is an expression of gratitude and focused on divine light and inner wisdom.  

In this workshop, we will:

• learn about the practice of mantra in yoga,
• talk about the origins of the Gayatri Mantra, understand how and when it can be chanted and the benefits it can bring to you, and
• slowly break the mantra down to learn it in Sanskrit, and repeat the mantra together 108 times. Divine! 

Investment is $35.  

When? Friday 9 July 6pm to 7.30pm
