In yoga classes we often hear, and sometimes chant, beautiful sanskrit mantras with varying meanings. However mantras can be practical and helpful in our daily lives and do not need to be recited in a foreign language in order to have meaning and purpose.

The repetition of words can help us to set our intention and focus. So whether a mantra is about focusing on improved health or reminding yourself to be more thoughtful, creating your own personal mantra can allow you to stay present with yourself and in your life.

Om Shanti Peace!
