Welcome to the heartbeat of the Pure Yoga community where sangha unites and connections are nurtured.
Once a month we gather in person as a community with the shared intention to focus our energies and unite as one voice to create a positive sound healing field within ourselves, our Whanau & the wider community.
These events combine mantra chanting & kirtan - two powerful ways to express ourselves and hold space for others.
Here's a bit more about what we anchor into and dont worry no experience is needed to join us.
This mantra (Maha Mrityunjaya) holds the power to shift physical & mental states and strengthen positivity. Chanted through the ages it still holds its potency for us today. This is chanted 108 times followed by uplifting kirtan - collective singing of mantras.
Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra Lyrics in Sanskrit and English.
ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम् |
उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात् ||
Aum Tryambakam yajaamahe sugandhim pushtivardhanam |
Urvaarukamiva bandhanaan-mrityormuksheeya maamritaat ||
About Kirtan
Chanting & singing mantras through kirtan connects us to a sense of that which exists beyond the grip of the senses and ever changing states of the mind. It's not necessary to be a good singer or to try to understand the mantras at an intellectual level. The best experience can be had by just being open and receptive to the waves generated by the mantras. Immerse in a positive wave and let go of unnecessary concerns. Explore the power of mantra, awaken your voice and connect with a community of positive and uplifting souls.

These are mini immersion experiences designed to introduce and deepen connection with the ancient wisdom of mantra yoga. Using sound and vibration as the main mediums of relaxation and turning inwards they include learning a few mantras, pronunciation of sanskrit, naada yoga, kirtan and how to weave mantra into your yoga practice.
Focused on experiential learning and cultivating self-reflective awareness throughout the day. These are suitable for both beginners and those building more mantra elements into their practice.
Thats a great question and many people are discovering the profound effects that the vibrations of chanting mantra creates. Mantras hold a particular frequency and at our most subtle experience we are composed of different vibrational patterns. When the purity of the mantra vibration interacts with our own a cascade of health promoting waves are generated. This helps us to heal, addresses fragmentation and imbalances and provides mental relaxation.
Yoga is a very broad science and originally a lifestyle. Different practices evolved which included tuning into nature and different frequencies using sound. Singing and chanting are part of many ancient cultures. These form a bridge between a person's material existence and the subtle, non material or spiritual world. There were many methods in which to withdraw the mind and turn inwards and mantras have been used in Yoga as a practice to achieve these higher states.
Mantras are revealed sounds that hold a particularly potent vibration. Chanting mantras were considered as an essential part of any undertaking with a desired intent. Mantras as conduits of energy are used to affect our own energy field and also the environment around us. Of, course its an experiential science so dive in and give it a go.
Getting to know the instrument of the voice helps to understand how sound is produced and what mechanics of voice you can use to strengthen your instrument.
Taking the time to break down sounds and learn the sanskrit vowels and consonants.
You are definitely in the right place as singing kirtan is not about what your voice sounds like, rather its about letting go. Mantras when sung have a therapeutic effect on our cells, organs and tissues. It has been proven by science that sound waves affect and influence matter. Mantras are made up of sound waves and generate different frequencies. The vibrational affects of singing mantras can help heal and balance discordance within our own energetic field.
