The Vedic chant classes will present selected chants from the Veda-s, the ancient and authoritative texts for the original six philosophical schools of thought in India, of which Yoga is one. These classes offer the opportunity to connect with the earliest teachings which formed the foundation of Yoga. The chants will be taught in the original Sanskrit, a language rich in sounds, and the meaning will be provided in English to offer a deeper appreciation of each chant. Vedic chanting is not singing; it is poetic recitation of beautiful passages that honor the various qualities of the natural world as well as of the pervading spirit that underlies them all. No previous experience is necessary.
