Class Outline
The focus is on direct experience and addressing the needs of each class group.
We will chant mantra more than I’ll talk about it. (After all, what good would a yoga
class do if we just talked about it and didn’t practice the postures?) The following

e. Direct Experience: Explain 3-syllabled AUM and detailed pronunciation and
resonance points in the physical & etheric bodies. Chant 7 times.
f. Direct Experience: Explain esoteric significance of Ganesh, and why this
principle of Unity is invoked at the beginning of any endeavor. Chant 21 rounds of
Om Gam Ganapatayei Namah
2. Seed Sounds for common difficulties (prosperity, relationships, personal
empowerment)

seed sound & accompanying mantra first, for time limitation purposes.)

b. Where/when to practice (explain the concept of sandhya)
c. Practicing mantra during your asana practice

practice (i.e. atha yoga nushasanam, yogas chitta vritti nirodhaha, heyam dukkham
