About Us
Mantra is a group consisting of Vrindavan on lead vox & guitar, James Burmester on keyboard, harmonium, flute and back vox, and Jada B on percussion (Drum kit, Doumbek, tablas) and back vox. Mantra’s unique sound draws influence from world music, groove, funk, ambient and electronic rhythm.

Group members share similar lifestyles involving meditation, yoga, & music. As a band, they share the joyful sound of mantras-with-music with an audience & get them grooving enough to participate in that joy by joining together in singing, dancing, and experiencing something truly transcendental!

What we do
Mantras are transcendental sound vibrations that can be actively applied to our daily lives. We bring music and mantra together to create high vibration, healing, and joy. Singing mantra benefits everyone regardless of age, gender, or religion.

Where we’ve been
Mantra extends musical offerings at a wide variety of venues including parties, coffee shops, yoga studios, restaurants and music festivals. You can find Mantra at festivals such as Whole Earth Festival in Davis, Earth Day Sacramento, Color Festival in Reno/Sacramento, and Lotus Festival in L.A.

We are looking forward to visiting you at Leap Yoga!

Facing Embracing Fears Arm Balancing and Inversions with Les Leventhal

July 12th from 6-8pm
$30/advance registration, $40/walk-in, $50/both classes (Yamas & Niyamas Vinyasa, Facing Embracing Fears Arm Balancing and Inversions) advance registration required

Arm Balances and Inversions can be some of yoga’s most challenging yet fun poses to practice. Learn to safely defy gravity, starting with a single breath. In this workshop you will strengthen your core to better support your arm balances. Build upper body strength which will help support and build healthier wrists, elbows and shoulders. Engage the legs, so they don’t take refuge in Savasana. Begin cultivating awareness of your body being upside down and moving through space, while surfing from one pose to another. Yoga should be satisfying and fun, not a chore. This workshop will launch you there. This very fun workshop is accessible for beginners, intermediate/advanced practitioners and teachers who want to learn how to teach newer students the foundations and set up of arm balancing and provide safe up leveling for the advanced practitioner. Flying is like a great fire of courage – once that flame is ignited – it never goes out.

Yamas & Niyamas Vinyasa with Les Leventhal

July 11th from 6-8pm
$30/advance registration, $40/walk-in, $50/both classes (Yamas & Niyamas Vinyasa, Facing Embracing Fears Arm Balancing and Inversions) advance registration required

How do these first two Limbs of the 8 Limbed practice affect the asana practice on the mat and everyday life off the mat? We will explore what the 8 limbs are and where the Yamas and Niyamas fit in and their application. We will discuss how these ideals can be themes or intentions for the practice. We’ll take some time to review our ethics and how we might shift our perspective on how we see things culturally and/or personally and then weave all that into an asana practice to cultivate awareness. Our lives are forever shifting and sometimes we need to make tough decisions about how to love ourselves and others, compassionately.
