Japa Meditation
What Does Japa Meditation Mean?
Japa meditation is a form of meditation that uses mantras to quiet and focus the mind. A mantra can be a single-syllable sound, word or phrase that is repeated silently or chanted aloud. Japa is a Sanskrit word that means “muttering” or “repeating in a murmuring tone.”
Japa meditation has been a part of yoga practice since ancient times, and it is a common practice in many different schools of yoga.

People have been practising breathwork for thousands of years, and it has roots in yoga practice. The basic idea of breathwork is to release toxins and stress when you breathe out and nourish your mind and body when you breathe in… we use breath techniques as a focus to help calm the mind and relax the body into a parasympathetic state.
