The chanting of mantras, a practice as old as humanity itself, is an invaluable tool for engaging in the art of deep listening. Through creating sound and feeling it vibrate through our bodies, we are also better able to listen to the unstruck chords—the silence where pure awareness lives. These practices carry great wisdom for understanding ourselves and relating to this world and the people in it. 

Join senior yoga teacher, kirtan artist, and author of Beautiful Monster: A Becoming, Miles Borrero, along with special guests Caroline Duncan and Justin Green, for a program that explores the powerful connection between chanting mantra, asana (physical practice), and activating freedom in all aspects of your life.

In this workshop, you will: 

  • Study a series of mantras in depth.  

  • Explore the deities and myths from which the mantras originate. 

  • Awaken a deep connection to breath and body through sound.  

  • Uncover the gifts of silence—the space of pure awareness.  

  • Investigate how ancient practice can unlock new paths forward in your life.

This program distills philosophical concepts and tools that Miles has deeply explored throughout his life and in his recently released memoir Beautiful Monster: A Becoming. He shares these tools in an accessible, practical way, connecting ancient practices to modern life and making them useful well past your time at Kripalu. 

Return home reignited with your heart cracked wide open and ready to take on life’s challenges.
