Chanting Mantras and Montreal Yoga for Kids!

My son loves chanting and Yoga!!! I am so thrilled...

If you ever wondered if yoga would help your child in all ways, but too afraid to try?  Afraid of the little one not liking it and pull a tantrum in the middle of a classroom in front of other quiet kids and parents? The thought always passed my mind, even though i am a yoga teacher, kids will be kids and you can't change that... 

It was my last kirtan chanting class in MAY and i thought to myself.."wouldn't it be nice to share this experience with my "soon to be 4" son... He does seem to take interest (even just for a moment at home ) when I am practising into my postures and weird positions... (he oftens asks with his innocent tone..mommy what are you doing?) and i gladly respond " Yoga moves, wanna try with me"? Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

So last week as I prepared him quietly and firmly at home into "Mommy has to teach yoga tonight... so you will need to be a good boy and participate, lecture..."  I was pleasantly surprised.

I was so surprised that I almost blurted out a gasp as I chanted OM in the beginning only to hear my son's voice so present!!!  OH MY GOD, he's doing it!!!  I thought to myself, this is amazing , I almost cried for joy... but the best was coming.

After we tuned in to OM , we usually do a warm up exercise for our bodies to relax and open up with a breathing in and out /pumping the chest front and back exercise... and again he was doing it so perfectly!

I realized in that moment that I have been wrong about my thoughts of Yoga for Kids... wrong for judging my own son and being fearful of teaching little boys and girls.  I let my "being a mom" ideas get in the way... well i have changed my perception and decided to start teach yoga for kids . That's right. Kids for 4-7 years old and i decided to add music to the class too. Kids love music so why not have both, yoga and music for kids?  

I am so excited about this and I owe to my son, Mario for being such a good sport, and opening my eyes and heart again... Stay tuned for YOGA and MUSIC for kids !

Mantra Yoga for Moms

With today’s stresses of juggling with motherhood, household duties, and a full time job, mommies can find it a bit overwhelming when trying to maintain balance.   But where can mom’s find this balance and sanity?   :  Mantra Yoga

In fact, yoga in general is becoming ever so popular that it is becoming a lifestyle rather than an exercise or hobby…

I’ve just taught a mantra yoga class the other day to a class of moms and found it to be so satisfying to see the joy and ease on their faces after the class, like a brick was taken off from their shoulders….

 Sometimes mommies just need a break, a mantra yoga break…

 What is a Mantra Yoga and How Does It Work ?

Mantras are powerful sounds. They are texts that when chanted for a long time, produce great effects. The mantras are chanted repeatedly and that is called Japa. Japa is a key part of meditation.

Mantras are very rich in their meaning. While doing Japa, one can meditate on the mantra and its meaning. As the mind dwell more and more into that, the mantra conditions the mind and takes up to the higher states and forms the path to the great liberation – FREEDOM!

One mantra I like to use in my class is SO HUM, (I am that I am) along with a breathing technique. I find this to be very effective in reaching a meditative state and awareness, a profound inner presence.

I invite you to join in with me for our next mantra yoga class, if you are interested drop me a line at media@lealongo.com and I will register you in for our next class…

Until then, Peacefully Yours

Sound and Mantra Yoga, Meditation Music for mind body and spirit

Music is sound. Mantras are sacred texts. When we use music mantras, we are using sacred texts with melodies that calm our mind.

 Music Mantras is ancient knowledge from India, it was a well -kept secret for many centuries. You can tap into your own self- power with the sound of your own voice.  Your voice is a reflection of your soul.  It is your unique self. Every voice is different and special.  Once you repeat certain mantras, they become you and you become the mantra. It becomes a meditation.

 The power of sound is still unexplored in our consciousness when it comes to application for purposeful means. All sounds, whether it is a word, phrase, chant, mantra, or song can become a powerful influence and energy for achieving a desired result, each carrying a specific frequency or vibration. The quality of the vibration will depend on the intensity, desire and will of the one producing it.

 The most sacred and well-known mantra is OM or its variation AUM. Om, cosmic vibration- the word of God/Universe-

 Other mantras I like and use in my kirtan are :

 

Om Mani Padme Hum (for compassion)

Om Nama Shivaya (Spiritual Growth)

Om Shrim Maha Lakshmiyei Swaha (for Abundance)

Om Ram Ramaya Swaha (Healing with Rama)

Om Dum Durgayei Swaha ( for Protection)
