Let’s tune our bhakti as we set our chanting on fire—together! \nAbout Anandra: \n \nAnandra George (C-IAYT\, E-RYT500) is an internationally respected teacher\, musician\, and pioneer in the field of sound and mantra yoga. With over 25 years of teaching experience and students from more than 120 countries\, Anandra’s passion is helping people discover the healing\, joyful power of their own voice. She is the founder of Heart of Sound—the world’s first yoga teacher training devoted entirely to the transformational power of Sanskrit\, mantra\, and music—and has trained hundreds of teachers across the globe. \nHaving spent years immersed in ashram life in India and learning directly from master musicians and spiritual leaders\, Anandra brings a rare depth of authenticity and heart to her offerings. She is the creator of the Sacred Sound Stage at the International Yoga Festival in Rishikesh and the global Mantras for Peace project\, and her teachings have uplifted communities from Kaua‘i to Tokyo\, Berlin to Beirut. \n  \nAnandra’s workshops are known for their playful\, inclusive spirit—no experience required\, just a willingness to sing\, connect\, and open to the beauty of sound. Whether you’re new to chanting or a lifelong bhakta\, her Maui events are a chance to tune up your bhakti\, ignite your voice\, and experience the bliss of community in song. \nWhat Her Students Say: \n“After decades of chanting Sanskrit mantras millions of times\, I finally experienced a breakthrough—simply by learning to pronounce the sounds correctly! Just three hours of studying Sanskrit pronunciation with Anandra felt like removing a dam that had been blocking the flow. Suddenly\, everything opened up and started to flow naturally.”\n– Stephen Lynch \n“I’ve been chanting mantra for 33 years but nothing like the way Anandra teaches… It has profoundly altered my inner experience…” – Gangaji \n“Having studied Sanskrit at the tertiary level\, I was craving the connection and vitality I knew was possible from mantra but which is missing in the more intellectual\, academic approach that a university framework requires. Anandra’s careful practice instruction allowed me to access and become intimate with the vibration of the sounds within myself and to embody the sonic foundation of this magical language. It is nourishment for my soul! I was also really impressed with her knowledge\, her commitment to authenticity in sharing that knowledge\, and her transparency about its limitations.” – Yolanda French\, Graduate\, Sydney University\, E-RYT 200\, YACEP \n“I was never good at languages\, but my brain seems to resonate with Sanskrit. I can almost feel the new neural pathways growing! I certainly feel the effects of correctly pronouncing the mantras in my body\, soul and mind.” – James\, Canada \n“Wow…just listened to a (former) favorite kīrtan artist…first time since starting this course and…MIND BLOWN. In the past I did have a pretty good ear from being Indian-American\, but now being able to pick out the exact letters being mispronounced is a GIFT!” – Marla Mangla Pelletier\, Owner at InwardOffice.com \n“Anandra’s teachings on how to make the Sanskrit sounds have revolutionized my chanting practice! I am one of those many chant lovers who didn’t know what I didn’t know… but after learning the alphabet sounds with her Tantrik approach\, the mantras I loved dearly before have come alive in profoundly awesome new ways!”\n– Siddhi Śakti\, a mantra teacher from Australia
