This 60-hour course offers an immersion into the science of mantra, sound and vibration. In Sanskrit, ‘man’ means mind and ‘trang’ means wave or projection. Mantra can be described as a creative projection of the mind through sound.
In this course you will experience the teachings of yoga as seen through the lens of sound, word and vibration. We incorporate all elements of yoga practice – Asana, Kriya, Mudra and Meditation – all from a foundation of Naad Yoga. You will learn how to incorporate mantras into your practice and teaching. 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.
“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.
Anyone wanting to open up their voice and explore the power of sound.
Those wishing to understand the science behind mantra and to experience the the capacity of these ancient sounds to clear and focus the mind and orient the practitioner to-wards their inner truth.
Teachers at all levels will find that this course provides the necessary elements to support their personal and spiritual development and to increase their skill and effectiveness in working with students.
Anyone with a dedicated yoga practice and sincere desire to learn and grow is welcome.

“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.”
