The breath always guides us; leading the way through our yoga asana (movement) practice,
holding us and carrying us through this life without effort.
In this Opening the Heart: Connecting in Kriya, Chanting & Community offering, we will begin by
harnessing the power of our breath through Kriya.
Kriya is often used in Kundalini Yoga by
practicing sets of a combination of breath, mantra, mudra and movement with an internal
drishti (focus or gaze). We will practice a 30-minute Kriya to Open the Heart Center, inviting the breath to welcome us into deeper connection with the heart and with Self.
As our Kriya practice concludes we’ll welcome heart connection in community through our
chanting practice.
In chanting practice, we use the method of mantra meditation which is the repetition of a
name. As Krishna Das, “Chant Master of American Yoga” (The New York Times) says,
“Chanting (Kirtan) is a part of the path of Devotional Yoga. When we see the beauty of our own being, we are seeing the beauty of the Being that is the One of which we are all a part. And
when we turn towards that One, love is the natural reaction of the heart.”
Let’s fall into the heart space together, into that love, through Kriya, Chanting, & Community.
All welcome. Donation Community Event. Bring a friend.
