There is a subtle yet powerful vibrational eloquence that can be felt while chanting ancient Sanskrit mantras. Holding awareness on the resonant precision of each syllable while stringing each sound together, creates a beautiful opportunity to experience alignment and clarity.
As a native English speaker, I understand the challenges of chanting in Sanskrit correctly. There are layers of sound creation in the Sanskrit alphabet that we don't have in English.
I'm a Vedic chanting instructor trained through a living South Indian lineage. I offer classes for all levels, allowing for continual growth and development of your sādhana.
Join me for a virtual class or a private session and experience the difference a chanting practice can make in your life.

Sādhanā & Sangha
All of my programs rest on a support of sādhanā and sangha. Sādhanā is often described as your daily spiritual practice. It's a Sanskrit word that comes from the root word sadh meaning "to accomplish" or "to achieve". It is a means to an end, a path you engage with regularly to enhance your spiritual evolution.
A sādhanā requires some discipline based on your overall goals and can shift as you move through different phases of your life. The core practices I teach are Sanskrit chanting through mantra japa, sūktam studies, and themed 40-day practices that incorporate supplemental yogic elements that support the chanting practice.
When we come together to practice with like-minded souls, we create sangha. When we're on a spiritual path, it's so important to keep good company with others who also engage with sādhanā. It helps to reinforce our own practice as we watch others moving through similar challenges and transformations.
Relationships in a sangha tend to be intimate and impersonal, as we explore the deeper essence of what it means to move through life in these human bodies. Most classes take place over zoom, but we keep an active What's App group chat to deepen connection. There are also opportunities to meet in person at retreats offered 2-3 times a year.
If you know in advance that you would like to participate in classes/practices throughout the year, I offer annual memberships with additional benefits.
