SU208 Vedic Chanting

Please note dates for 6 weeks:  26 April, 10 May, 7, 14, 28 June, 12 July. The Beginners and Experienced course has been combined so please also note new time.

Steeped in history, Vedic chants are as relevant today as they have always been: covering topics of health, peace, light, courage, trust, spirituality and more. Chanting these sounds in the beautiful resonating language of Sanskrit, can bring confidence, a clarity and calmness of mind, improved breathing and emotional healing.  Elaine would love to share this powerful yoga tool of sound with you; teaching some simple chants  and the sounds of the Sanskrit alphabet, plus a knowledge of the form and relevance of the Vedas today.

The course is suitable for beginners and those with experience.

We will be learning some simple chants including the Āyurmantraḥ, a chant asking for your body systems to be nourished and healed.  Plus we will focus on a new Vedic chant Śiva-mantrāḥ. This is a beautiful chant to the elemental energy of Siva – the energy of  transformation, bringing wealth & happy new beginnings.  Śiva-mantrāḥ is a ‘chant within a chant’, so for the experienced, you will recognise Śivapañcākṣarī-mantraḥ which features within it.

There will be a 15 minute mid-session break to have a bite to eat/drink.

Following a 2 year teacher trainer course for Vedic Chanting with internationally renowned Radha Sundararajan, Elaine is a qualified Vedic Chanting teacher, have been teaching Vedic Chanting for 7 years and personally chanting for more than 21 years.

This is a fun and friendly group with no auditions or ability to sing required! If you can talk, you can chant.
