CHANTING WORKSHOP | SAT 13 MAY | GREY LYNN

Kara from Yoga Ground, Grey Lynn

Join Dani Affleck for an afternoon of chanting and relaxing Yoga Nidra. First we will explore the meaning and history of AUM, with an enlivening discussion, then we will experience its potency with a session of chanting accompanied by the unique instrument- a Shruti Box.

Sound vibration has been used across many cultures and traditions as a healing practice, a way to shift our state of mind and shake off any "gunk" from our energetic body.

The workshop will then conclude with a relaxing Yoga Nidra (yogic sleep) to help you to really absorb the benefits.

Everyone is welcome to join this session.

No experience of chanting or Yoga Nidra required. Yoga Nidra is a practice that simply requires you to lie, or sit, for a period of time and listen to the teacher's voice.

If you are a first-time chanter or feel apprehensive about making the sounds then you are very welcome to join and experience the benefits of the vibrations as made by others. This is a great way to dip your toe in to this healing practice.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
