February 10, 2018 - February 28, 2018

11:00 AM - 12:00 PM 
   ​
Location: 901 W. San Mateo Rd. • Suite V • ​Santa Fe, New Mexico

Vedic Chanting: A Doorway to Meditation
Meditation from the Vedic and Yoga traditions is a process of creating and strengthening a relationship with a particular object or concept whose qualities we need, aspire to or already deeply appreciate. In this series, through sound and silence and simple techniques of meditation, we will use Vedic Chant as a tool for linking our minds and hearts to universal spiritual concepts and enhancing our own relationship with the natural world.  No previous experience with Vedic Chant or musical ability is required.

Level One

Emphasis on the principles and techniques as applied to chants of short and medium length as well as developing memorization and reading skills.

Refinement of listening, reading and memorization skills as applied to longer and more complex chants. Fundamentals of the Sanskrit language in relationship to Vedic Chant.
​
​Level Three
Chanting of complete Vedic texts such as the Taittiriya Upanishad, Shri Rudram, Mahanarayana Upanishad and Vedic Suktams.


Chant in Asana
Simple chanting and conscious breathing in asana for strength, stability, energy and focus.

Yoga Su
tras of Patañjali
Coming out of an oral tradition thousands of years old, the aphorisms of the Yoga Sutra are meant to be received, memorized and understood in the context of on-going instruction by a teacher and continuous effort by the student. Through this traditional learning process, the meaning of these ancient words of wisdom and their relevance to our modern lives is revealed.

The Bhagavad Gita
The Bhagavad Gita, one of the great poetic treasures from the Indian culture, was traditionally passed on through recitation by teacher and student. Through the study of the Gita we are shown how relevant ancient teachings can be to the contemporary human condition as we attempt to live our lives with responsibility and freedom.

Pranayama
Pranayama is a subtle and effective tool for influencing all levels of our system. Among its many benefits, regular and appropriately designed pranayama practice can bring nourishment to the body, balance our energy, increase mental focus and harmonize emotions. These classes explore the art and discipline of pranayama through the experience of practice and the theory behind its sequencing and application.
