Yoga and Pilates Information

Q. How early should I arrive to class before scheduled start time?

What is OM?

Om (Aum) is a vibration. Although it is not a religious sound or word, many religions incorporate some form of this vibration into their prayers. "Shalom" is the best example. Aum is usually chanted at either the beginning or the end of a Yoga class to establish that the time spent in sadhana (spiritual practice) is different than other parts of your day. When we chant Aum, we are chanting at the exact same frequency that the Earth is vibrating. This is Aum. This vibrational frequency is measured by NASA and is well documented.
Aum has no meaning and all meanings encompassed in it's sound.

We encourage all students who feel comfortable to participate in the chanting of Aum.
