Steeped in ancient wisdom, Vedic chanting remains deeply relevant today, exploring timeless themes of health, peace, light, courage, trust, and spirituality.
Chanting in the resonant language of Sanskrit can bring clarity, calmness, confidence, improved breathing, and emotional balance. Meditative and reflective in nature, these chants gently support and steady you in any state of mind.
Unlike the euphoric, musical expression of kirtan, which focuses on devotion through call-and-response, Vedic chanting is quieter, more inward, and deeply contemplative—offering a profound path to stillness and self-awareness.
Elaine warmly invites you to explore this powerful practice of sound in a fun & friendly supportive group. You'll learn simple & more complex chants, the Sanskrit alphabet, and the meaning and modern relevance of the Vedas.
No singing ability is needed—if you can talk, you can chant. We meet fortnightly & there will be a 15 minute mid-session break to have a bite to eat/drink & chat.
Miss a class? Attend another one of Elaine's weekly classes that term, plus you will have access to recordings of all the chants if you wish to practice in your own time.
Elaine is a compassionate, qualified Vedic Chanting teacher with over 24 years' experience.

You have amazing teaching skills and it is really heart warming and uplifting to be in your classes. They say 'teaching is a work of Heart' and you certainly reflect that.
