The Meaning Behind the Opening Mantra
Saturday, September 19th · Free Gathering
Om Vande Gurunam…
We chant these words at the beginning of our Ashtanga practice — but do we truly know what they mean?
Join me for a moment of exploration into the philosophy and deeper meaning behind the Opening Mantra.
Together, we will translate its words, explore the wisdom they carry and discover the connection between this ancient chant and the path of yoga.
And, of course, we will chant together.
A free gathering, open to everyone.
