What is Nāda Yoga?
Nāda Yoga is a form of yoga that works with sound as a technique for bringing us into a state of unity and calm quickly. It is especially powerful in restoring our nervous systems to a balanced state.
Mantra and music as a focus for meditation is a powerful and enjoyable way to bypass the busy mind and access a deep and nourishing stillness that resides within us all. Through a variety of sound based practices based on the ancient Vedic tradition of mantra and the Indian classical music tradition we are able to refine our ability to listen deeply, to free our voices and expand our hearts so we may rest in a state of fullness and joy.
Vocal toning is a simple and powerful technique that will help settle your nervous system, enhance relaxation, release stress, bring focus and clarity, boost your immune system, and energise and uplift your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
What is Kirtan + Mantra?
Kirtan is one form of Nāda Yoga (Yoga of sound) and Bhakti Yoga (Yoga of the heart) combining ancient sanskrit sounds (mantras) with melody and rhythm offered in dynamic call and response.
Mantra is a vehicle, tool and sound vibration to bring the mind from a state of flux to stillness. When the mind is still, we are truly ourselves – peaceful, loving, blissful and free!
Kirtan and mantra can help elevate our thoughts & emotions, purify and boost our energy and expand our awareness and can be practised by everyone, regardless of age or experience.
