In Sanskrit, ‘man’ means mind and ‘trang’ means wave or projection. Mantra can be described as a creative projection of the mind through sound. You will know firsthand the benefits that come from working with particular mantras as well as understand the meaning and effects of a wide array of mantras from several different traditions.
Through incredible devotion, the ancient yogis used pure sound vibration as a means to access different states of consciousness and reality. Over time, they developed Naad Yoga, a practice based on sound vibration. They knew mantras to be energetic formulas that could improve one’s ability to focus within, transform consciousness and experience profound presence.
Many consider the practice of mantra to be the highest form of yoga. Though often missing from classes and trainings in the West, mantra is central to all yogic traditions.
This course is for all serious practitioners and teachers who desire to better understand and experience the power of mantra and its place in the great yogic tradition. The in-person aspect and beauty of Sedona’s red rocks contributes to the incredible teachings of this training.
“Mantra” commonly refers to a word or phrase often repeated for self- motivation, or to express one’s basic beliefs. In the path of yoga, mantras are seen as words of power that hold energy, intention, and the promise of transformation. Mantra and listening practices are central to all yogic traditions. In Sanskrit man means mind and trang refers to a wave or projection. Therefore mantra is often described as a creative projection of the mind through sound.

“Kia’s style of teaching led me to my edge and encouraged me to stay there. Her philosophical, spiritual knowledge was the unexpected gem for me during the training. I’m 41 years old and Kia has set me on a life-changing path of rejuvenation of my body and spirit which I hope I can turn into inspiration for others.”
