About Vinayaki-Yoga

Mantras, kirtans & healing songs

When many voices become one

Together we chant mantras as kirtan - a call and response accompanied by guitar, harmonium and drums. No skill needed, only the joy of shared sound.

What we sing

Three ways, one voice

Sanskrit मन्त्र

Mantras

“Mantras are sacred syllables, words or sentences that are repeated many times.”

Focus for the mind

The repetition gathers the often restless mind and leads it into meditation.

Sound works without understanding

The power unfolds through the vibration of the sounds — even without knowing their meaning.

An anchor in the moment

Mantras keep bringing us back into the present and create inner stillness.

Mantras are sacred syllables, words or sentences whose origin is rooted deep in the millennia-old Vedic tradition. Singing or reciting these sounds repeatedly creates a specific energetic vibration that acts directly on body and mind. They are powerful tools for focusing the often restless mind and leading it into a state of deep meditation. Every sound carries its own quality and intention, able to dissolve blocks on a subtle level.

In yoga practice mantras help free the mind from everyday worries and cultivate a deep inner stillness. They act like an anchor that keeps drawing us back into the present moment.

The power of a mantra unfolds regardless of whether one grasps its exact intellectual meaning — through the physical vibration of the sounds alone. In this way they open the heart and create a harmonious connection between our individual awareness and the universal space of sound.

Bhakti yoga

“For me mantras have become an indispensable part of my own yoga practice and of my teaching.”
