The Heart of Shakti - Self-Empowerment through Mantra and Yoga

Friday April 24, 2026 10:30am - 12:00pm MST

Oak Creek Ballroom

“The Heart of Shakti: Self-Empowerment through Mantra and Yoga” explores the awakening of Shakti, the primordial feminine energy that animates all of life. Through the practices of nāda yoga (the yoga of sacred sound), bhakti (devotional practice), pranayama (breath work) and gentle āsana, this class opens a space to attune to the subtle body and connect more deeply with our inner source of strength, intuition, and compassion.

Drawing on the potency of Sanskrit mantra to clear and focus the mind, you’ll be guided to use your own voice as a means for liberation and empowerment. The repetition of mantra supports pratyāhāra—a drawing inward—so that the deeper layers of feeling and awareness can arise naturally.

We’ll create a sacred space where sound, movement, and intention merge into a powerful experience of inner alignment and remembrance - what a gift it is to realize Shakti as a living, powerful presence in your own heart.
