Often revered as one of the most ancient and powerful mantras, each syllable of the Gayatri mantra from the Rig Veda has specific significance. Chanting the Gayatri mantra is said to proffer great wisdom and peace, and has lived through the oral traditions for thousands of years. The story has hues of mysticism to being a part of many sociopolitical movements. We will listen to the stories, revel in the sacred sounds and learn how to chant this potent mantra together.

Story telling and chanting are powerful aspects of Yoga teachings, connecting esoteric concepts to everyday living. This offering is thus for all levels of yoga practitioners. There will also be space for questions and reflection.

A recording will be made available to registrants for two weeks following the workshop.
