Kundalini & Mantra Workshops with guest teachers Kendall Romanelli & Ami Sciulli
Kundalini Yoga is a beautiful ancient yogic science that combines asana (physical exercises), pranayam (breathing exercises), mudra (hand positions), mantra (sound meditations) and meditation to achieve a balanced state of wellness in the body, mind and spirit. In this class we will move through each of the seven chakras using sound, breath, movement and stretches. It will create a sense of release in the body, quiet in the mind and peace in the heart. We will close class with a healing sound deep relaxation accompanied by the quartz crystal singing bowls. This class is open to all levels of practitioners no experience is necessary.
The second half of the workshop is designed for mantra meditation. It is a gathering of voices that will raise the level of consciousness of the group. The workshop will begin with a brief discussion on the pronunciation and meaning of the mantra being chanted followed by a few easy exercises to warm the body and prepare it for sitting. Please feel free to bring meditation pillows. We will chant the mantra for 31 minutes. When we chant for 31 minutes the meditation begins to affect your whole mind, your aura, and all your body's internal organs. After chanting we will meditate on the vibrations we created for seven minutes and close with a long deep relaxation with the healing sounds of the quartz crystal singing bowls. |
