Come experience the healing power of sound through Vedic Chanting and learn part of the ancient Peace Chants. The benefits of Vedic chanting are many, including a focused mind and focused attention, enhanced memory and creativity, improved breath capacity, strengthened immune system, and reduced mental agitation. The powerful vibrational sounds have the potential to alter and heal us. We will learn at least two chants in Sanskrit, a revered language with special meaning and significance. The Peace Chants come from the Vedas, the most sacred and precious of the Indian teachings. They have been transmitted through oral tradition for thousands of years, from teacher to student, with attention given to protect and preserve them.
This class will begin with a gentle asana and pranayama practice to prepare the body, mind, and breath for chanting. Please wear comfortable clothing that will allow you to practice some basic poses and sit comfortably in a chair or on the floor.
Yoga Alliance CEU available upon request.
Meet Aimee, a seasoned practitioner and devoted guide on the transformative journey of yoga. Introduced to the practice at the nimble age of twelve, Aimee's unwavering commitment to yoga has shaped her into a certified Yoga Therapist recognized by IAYT, where she specializes in the Viniyoga tradition, honing her expertise at the Yoga Well Institute under the guidance of Chase Bossart. Aimee also is an E-RYT 500 and YACEP (continuing education provider) accredited by Yoga Alliance.
A perpetual student, Aimee's spiritual quest extends beyond borders as she weekly immerses herself in Vedic chanting with Ms. Suhasini Krishnan at Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandiram in Chennai, India. Mentored by Laura Jane Mellencamp of Yoga Among Friends, Aimee is a conduit of traditional classical yoga, sharing the profound wisdom and healing inherent in this ancient practice.
In her role as a Yoga Therapist, Aimee works intimately with individuals and small groups, crafting sessions that reflect her deep understanding of the human spirit and the therapeutic power of yoga. Additionally, Aimee offers Ayurvedic Counseling, Panchakarma therapies, and is committed to continuing her own education as she completes certification as an Ayurvedic Practitioner and continues studying with her teachers, both in the US and India.
Driven by the belief that one can experience "sukha" (good space), Aimee encourages her students to explore their unique paths and dharma on this earthly journey. Beyond the physical postures, Aimee's teachings traverse the subtle realms of breath, mind, spirit, and inner space, illuminating the profound connections that lead to balance, joy, and clarity in life.
Grateful for the profound gifts of Yoga and Ayurveda, Aimee is passionately dedicated to passing along the rich ideas, traditions, and philosophy embedded in these ancient practices. As she guides her students towards their own space of ease, Aimee remains a beacon of inspiration, embodying the transformative power of yoga on and off the mat.
