Kīrtan at Shakti Yoga
Shakti Yoga Kirtan in Buffalo NY. Kirtan with Marla Pelletier. Nada Yoga sound yoga therapy
Mantra Soundbath
Let's allow the edges of the body to soften in this mantra soundbath. Our theme will be the spiritual principle of oneness and unity as we listen and breathe alongside Sanskrit chants. Marla will lead with her voice, the harmonium and tanpura.
These chants will mean: You are whole. All is well. May all beings be peaceful. Salutations to the One/God.

Sonic Bloom with Sandra and Marla
Sonic bloom is a farming concept that showed improved plant growth and healing with the use of music and nature sounds. In this unique workshop, Sandra Kurzdorfer and Marla Pelletier will use ancient sound tools to loosen energetic knots and invite you to vibrationally transform them. We will be using voice and breath work, conscious relaxation, a gong bath and ancient Sanskrit mantras to clear emotional and mental blocks and fortify your whole energy system.
Let’s create magic together.

Embodied Sanskrit for the Chant Lover
Sanskrit is an ancient language that was heard by the rsis and is codified to the cakras or energy centers of the body. With proper pronunciation our mantras vibrate the whole body and affect it on an energetic level. This is personal, intimate sound healing that we can create through our own vocal resonance. Learn to chant and unlock the power of the sounds with Sanskrit.
Assisi Institute Service (Musical Support)
Marla will lead the musical portions of the Assisi Institute weekly service. 7pm start, 8/8:15pm ending. Community gathering after the service, for those who attend live in Rochester. Otherwise, catch the recording on FB on the Assisi Institute’s Page.

Harmonium 101
Do you have a harmonium in your closet that you crave playing, but don’t know where to start? Curious about the difference between the words kirtan, chanting, mantra, japa, and nāda? Marla is a 500 hour RYT in Mantra and Nāda Yoga and has been teaching yoga since 2006. Chanting Sanskrit mantras have been a part of her family’s spiritual practice since birth.
Learn the basics of how to play the harmonium, finding your tonic note, and vocal exercises. You will take home a three tone Vedic style chant and a mantra practice you can use for a personal practice right away.
You’re required to bring your own harmonium and the app “itabla pro” is recommended, but not required. Alternatively, you could bring a battery operated keyboard.

February topic: the cakras

Śivaratri
Experience Śivaratri, the night of Siva. We will learn the mantras, correct pronunciation to unlock the full potential, and take a deep dive into the energy of Siva. Within the sound is the meaning of the mantra. Full participation brings us into union with the energy.
This is an excellent time to bring up deep wounds for healing, and do shadow work. Bring something for grounding at the end. Suggestions are a crystal like obsidian or chocolate. We will end in meditation or a restorative pose for integration.
Mantra & integration from 6:30-8pm, with a vegetarian meal and mingling until 9pm.

Kirtan @ Shakti Yoga
Join us in song. No experience necessary. We will have chant sheets and go through the pronunciation of the Sanskrit mantras so you can sing with ease and confidence. This is an experience for your personal pleasure and directed to deeply connect with yourself.

Mantras for Peace
Create deeper healing within your body by incorporating mantra music in the EE room. Marla will be accompanying your EE room experience with her voice and harmonium, an Indian organ-like instrument.
Mantra music is composed of Sanskrit sounds, a body-based energetic language that can heal the body & mind on many levels.
In Ayurveda, the medical science of India, mantras are a prescription to bring about mental stillness. They can restore balance in the emotional & mental body because the sounds direct and train the mind, and depending on the type of mantra, manifest clarity in certain areas of life.
This is both for kirtan lovers and those who would like a live-music experience with their EE session.

Mantra Meditation to access the still mind
Mantra Meditation is a way for us to find mental wellbeing through yoga’s tools. Mantra can help us balance our own mental health by reprogramming repetitive thoughts, focusing on the good, and entraining our mind to something higher than us.

Kirtan & Nada Yoga with Marla
Kirtan is an Indian musical art form that includes the listeners in the form of call-and-response singing. Your leader, Marla, a second generation Indian-American who lives in Rochester, NY, will lead you through listening and warm up exercises so that you are comfortable participating. This is not a performance, but a yoga experience where you come into greater connection with your own voice and how you express yourself in the world. This is an excellent workshop for someone who would like to deeply connect to their voice, loves to sing, loves mantras, chanting, or is a yogi. When we chant in Sanskrit we connect to what the yogis heard deep in the Himalayas and eventually wrote in the Vedas. We don’t just understand it on an intellectual level, but on the level of personal experience.
