MODULE 4 – Mantra, Bhakti & Nada Yoga as Heart Medicine
Monday, September 18, 2017 - Friday, September 22, 2017
Bhakti Yoga is considered the quickest path (marga) to heal the heart. Mantra Yoga is the school of yoga associated with freeing the throat chakra (visshudha), help us find our voice and express our truth effectively.
In the mystical roots of yoga, as well as modern, depth psychology – ritual, prayer, myth and devotion are revered as gateways to facilitate quantum leaps in consciousness.
