Was too shy to chant at first but the slow build-up made it easy to join in by halfway through.
A 60-minute introduction to Sanskrit mantra chanting, covering pronunciation, meaning, and rhythm.
Aimed specifically at guests intimidated by chanting they've heard but never attempted, this session breaks mantras down phrase by phrase before building up to full repetition.
Slow phrase-by-phrase teaching of two or three common mantras, building to group chanting by the session's end.
Complete beginners to mantra practice.
