Bhakti Body Prayer

Bhakti is the Yoga of Love and Devotion. This class is a time of coming together as a community to experience the immense support and healing that is available through the yoga practice.

Kara will practice alongside you, directing the class through many forms of meditation and prayer in motion including yoga postures, pranayama (breathing practices), mantras (sacred sounds), and mudras (sacred positioning of the hands).

This class will be held with meditative background music or silence and low light/candlelight.

Love Chants

Facilitated by Kara Schmidt, Andrew Gerber, and Mary Martha Metzler, students of Earthsong Mystery Sound School. Explore the yoga of sound through chanting, toning, singing, drumming, silence, and listening.

You don’t have to be able to sing! Listen and absorb the healing resonance of sound. Chanting celebrates and uplifts ourselves, each other, and connects to our hearts to the divine. Chanting is part of the practice of Bhakti (Love/Devotion). All ages welcome.
