Inner Strength and Resilience through Mantras with Nitya Mohan - Friday

Mantras for Inner Strength: A Yoga Workshop with Nitya Mohan
Embark on an immersive journey into the profound world of sound and mantras, designed to cultivate inner strength and emotional resilience through yoga. Led by renowned teacher Nitya Mohan, this experiential workshop offers a unique space where participants will explore ancient practices from Yoga (Yogasutras, Hathayogapradipika), Mantra literature (Upanishads, Naradiya Siksha), and Music texts (Sangita Ratnakaram, Brhaddesi) to harness the transformative power of sound for personal growth.
The workshop is structured around three pathways: physical & behavioral regulation, physiological & somatic balance, and psychological & cognitive development. Each pathway integrates traditional yogic practices with mantras, music, and bhavanas (spiritual intentions), providing a holistic approach to inner strength and resilience.
Physical & Behavioral Pathway
This path focuses on grounding the body through asana movements integrated with mantras. Participants will learn how to anchor stability in their physical practice by incorporating specific vinyasas and breath-based bhavanas, which can then be woven into daily routines for sustained well-being. Traditional practices such as Asanas, Pranayama, Yajna (sacraments), Vedic Suktams, and Nyasas will be explored to enhance stability and resilience.
Physiological & Somatic Pathway
Here, the emphasis is on understanding how sound affects our physiological functions through breath work. Techniques include deepening pranayama practices with mantras that regulate inner body sensations, connecting agni (fire) energy points with specific sounds, and using pitch variations to achieve deeper states of relaxation and balance.
Psychological & Cognitive Pathway
This pathway delves into the cognitive aspects of sound and mantra usage. Through mindfulness exercises inspired by ancient texts on Sound, participants will learn how to regulate their thoughts and emotions through affirmations and bhavanas. The workshop includes a study of Sanskrit verses and musical tones that foster emotional strength and clarity.
