Chanting Circle :
Yoga Sutra of Patanjali -
Chanting and Discussing

Focus your mind, lift your spirit, awaken your heart

Chanting not only lifts your spirits and lightens your heart, it also is beneficial to your health. The vibrations you produce while chanting release muscular tensions, soothe the autonomic nervous system and reduce mental and emotional agitations. Over time your breath capacity will increase, your mind sharpens and gets more focused and your memory becomes better.

The chanting will be taught in the traditional way of students repeating the teacher following the ancient Vedic Chanting rules. This enhances the listening skills and practices the memory.

The Yoga-Sutra of Patanjali is the foundations of yoga. It gives us guidance on how to practice yoga and helps us understand the human mind. To talk about the Sutra is the Western approach, to understand with the intellect, but chanting the Sutra opens our heart and the understanding may come from a different level.
