“mananāt trāyate iti mantraḥ” - That which protects (or saves) by constant contemplation is called a mantra.

A private and unique coaching in Sanskrit and Mantra chanting/singing tailored to your personal needs and search. This journey offers structured guidance on the pronunciation, meaning, and chanting of sacred sounds while deeply immersing yourself in the understanding of Indian philosophy and esoteric meaning.

Some of the topics that could be covered during the sessions*:

  • Voice intonation (with a chosen instrument if you wish to combine)
  • Correct pronunciation of Sanskrit sounds and awareness of resonating points in your body
  • Breath control
  • Brief mantras for a chosen deity
  • Some well-known mantras such as:
    • Gayatri
    • Mahamrtyunjaya
    • Shanti mantras
    • Healing mantras, etc.
  • Read and write Devanagari
  • Stotrams (invocation hymns)
  • Introduction to Vedic chanting
  • Vedic mantras/Suktas
  • Choosing mantras from scriptures such as the Bhagavad Gita, Patanjali Yoga Sutras, Upanishads, and others.

*based on your current level

Apart from the benefit of learning to chant Sanskrit the traditional way, you will also end up considerably enhancing your communication and speaking skills, as Sanskrit and Vedic mantras foster clarity and articulate speech.

Teachers of yoga, mantra, and meditation, those who offer sound healing sessions and want to integrate mantras, leaders of Kirtan devotional singing  can gain unique guidance and benefits from this coaching.

These sessions are uniquely valuable for two main groups:

Practitioners & Facilitators Seeking to Deepen Their Offerings: like yoga teachers, meditation guides, kirtan and devotional music leaders, Indian classical music practitioners, sound healers looking to incorporate intentional vibrations of mantra into their sessions, and those whose work is connected to Indian spiritual traditions and who seek a solid foundational knowledge.

Personal Seekers on a Journey of Exploration: those who are curious about Indian philosophy, Sanskrit, or mantra and desire a structured, personal introduction, and those on a personal spiritual path (sadhana) who wish to use mantra and Sanskrit study as a tool for inner growth and focus.

Don’t just take my word for it

With her breadth and depth of knowledge across Indian spiritual traditions, through sanskrit, mantras, vedas, and dhrupad, Simona introduced and guided me through this deep and complex space. On top of which her warm presence makes every class a treat.
Victor, Singapore
Simona is a professional and passionate teacher of Dhrupad singing and Vedic chanting. She transmits her knowledge with ease and makes you feel comfortable, even if you have no musical background. The course I joined was fun and full of insights about Indian philosophy, culture, and, of course, music.
Ivana, Italy
I absolutely love my sessions with Simona. She is so much more than just a vocal coach. The presence and being-ness she brings to our sessions is so palpable and touches me deeply every time. Whether it’s the singing practice itself, her knowledge about the western approach to music or her embodied wisdom of the ancient and mystical Indian approaches to music, there is always something new to discover! I’m glad to be on this journey with Simona and would recommend her to anyone wanting to explore the essence of music, sound and the nature of the universe.
Marian, Germany
I’ve been taking private classes with Simona for the past 2 years now and have noticed significant improvements with my voice. She taught me lots of useful exercises and routines to work on the range and clarity of my voice. She always shares interesting stories about Hindustani music, Mantras, Ragas - very happy to have such a knowledgeable teacher and can highly recommend taking classes with her!

ABOUT YOUR GUIDE

Hi there! I’m Simona.

In the music scene, I’m known as Apsarā, and on the spiritual path, I guide as Sumanā. My mission is to be a bridge: to distill and share the living wisdom traditions of the East in a way that resonates with the modern West.

My wisdom comes from immersion and not just instruction. While I hold academic degrees in Indian Classical Music, Jazz, and Indology, the true essence of my work was forged through direct experience: years living in ashrams, visiting important temples and sacred places, learning from masters and gurus and of course doing my own research and sādhana (spiritual practise).

I integrate this journey into everything I share. It is through these pathways of wisdom that I seek to inspire and guide you on your journey back to wholeness, a sacred re-membering of your true Self:
The philosophy of sound, Dhrupad,
Sanskrit, Mantra, and the power of the voice.
Vedanta, Meditation, and Yoga.
Ayurveda, Jyotish, and Indian philosophy.
Healing arts.
