Awaken with the Sun: A Yoga & Chanting Workshop
Begin your journey inward through the timeless practice of Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutations), paired with the grounding and uplifting power of chanting at Alta Dispensary, a woman owned dispensary in Soho. They will be providing their intimate space filled with incredible products made by women.
In this immersive workshop, we’ll explore the movement, breath, rhythm, and symbolism behind Sun Salutations, using the sequence as a moving meditation to cultivate energy, focus, and inner connection. We’ll complement the physical practice with traditional chants and mantras, creating space to experience the vibrational and meditative aspects of yoga. We will learn and chant a beautiful mantra in sanskrit (ancient hindu language), The Gayatri Mantra: a sacred universal hymn from the Vedas, dedicated to the divine light (Sun Goddess).
This workshop offers an opportunity to slow down, breathe deeply, move with intention, and connect with the energy of the sun within.
Come move, breathe, chant, and welcome the light.
Whether you are a seasoned yogi or a curious beginner, this workshop is open to anyone looking to Come exactly as you are.
