Chanting mantras is an integral part of Hatha Yoga.

I was introduced to the Vedic chants and mantras commonly recited in the different yoga schools. I am also familiar with those used more specifically in the Bihar School of Yoga and the Kaivalyadhama Institute.

I lately discovered Dhrupad chanting with Krishnadhyanam and Kirit Singh (London).  I then studied this classical singing in India with the Gundecha brothers. I continue to learn Dhrupad when I travel to India or when Indian singers come to Europe, like recently Pelva Naik.

Awareness of sounds and vibrations – internal and external- are therefore integrated into my yoga practice.
