Ganeśa (Ganesha) embodies the energy of new beginnings, the remover of obstacles, and the aspect of wisdom and discernment in the face of challenges. Ganeśa is also security, safety, and 1st cakra energy.
Using the tools of nāda yoga, Sanskrit mantras and kīrtan (call and response devotional singing) we will begin to embody the energy of Ganeśa. This may help us access new solutions and insights in problems we face.
Nāda yoga is a practice of using the voice as the instrument of self-expression, creativity, and authenticity. It has a potent way of liberating us from mental patterns and sticky emotions.
Participants are welcome to bring drums and follow along with the beat. Led by Marla Pelletier, a second-generation Indian American, 500 E-RYT in Sanskirt, nāda and mantra yoga. Mike Van Munster will be holding down the rhythm. You are invited to dance and move, too.
We will end with a dessert in community. The dessert will include dairy and nuts. If you are allergic, please bring your own treat.
This workshop pairs well with Adair's Somatic processing from 1-3pm - we recommend you take both together in order to expand the themes of security, safety, and feeling the effect of the mantra practice in your own body
