Mantra Classes in Birmingham

MANTRA CLASSES BIRMINGHAM

Mantra is one of the oldest practices in Yoga and arguably one of the most powerful. There is a lot of misunderstanding about the transformative effects of this ancient technology.

In this 3 part workshop, Yogi Andi will shed light on mantra, chanting, kirtan and Bhakti yoga, making it fully understandable and accessible to everyone - You don't need a good singing voice. You don't need to be a yogi or follow any religion or belief system. Just your openness and a desire to experience meditative bliss, joy and happiness.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE MANTRA CLASSES?

This mantra workshop comprises of 3 mantra classes running over 3 consecutive Sunday's. You'll learn all about Mantra, covering;

Chanting
Bhakti yoga
Nāda yoga
Kirtan

Delving into the history of mantra, the effects of mantra on the body & mind, as well as some of the more esoteric, deeper understanding and importantly, how to make a mantra work for you.

”Chanting is a way of getting in touch with yourself. It’s an opening of the heart and letting go of the mind and thoughts. It deepens the channel of grace, and it’s a way of being present in the moment.”
- Krishna Das

On a very fundamental level, chanting helps us see the illusion of our conditioned mind, allowing us to take a step outside of our mental model of reality, closer to the totality of reality. But you don't need to understand exactly what that means to benefit from the relaxing, calming yet uplifting effects of mantra.

Set in a friendly, nurturing space, allowing you to fully open your heart.
