OM Chanting
Resonate with the sound of the universe at our free community OM Chanting sessions.
After every Lunar Yoga class
OM Chanting
Resonate with OM, the universal sound of creation, the highest and purest vibration that exists. Forgotten over time, this ancient group healing technique was reintroduced by spiritual Masters Paramahamsa Vishwananda and Mahavatar Babaji to support the Earth in this time of need; and now shared by Claire Holloway following each of her Lunar Yoga classes at Ujjayi!
These free community sessions involve the group creating a continuous chant of OM. You are welcome to book the Lunar Yoga class prior, or just come afterwards for chanting (no bookings or payment required to chant) and Claire will come down the stairs to let you in the studio when class is finished.

Sauna
Our modern Swedish style electric sauna is operating on Sundays so that you can relax and loosen up before class, then recover and rejuvenate after. Set between 70-80°C with low humidity our electric sauna offers a unique opportunity in Launceston to Sauna and Yoga in the same session!

There are many benefits of sauna and the heat, including:
- Relieving sore muscles and chronic pain
- Clearing the skin
- Reducing heart pressure
- Boosting the immune system
- Helping with stress and tension
Whilst saunas suit most people, they aren’t for everyone and there are some risks for some people, including:
- Dehydration, causing sickness, nausea, headache and or dizziness (especially if dehydrated prior)
- Can be dangerous for people with high blood pressure, diabetes, abnormal heart rhythms and known heart conditions
- Not recommended for pregnant women
Hosting a maximum of 4 people at anyone time, there is some sauna etiquette:
- Please wear a minimum of a singlet and shorts / towel around your waist in public sessions
- No bare chest, no matter your gender please
- Come into the sauna clean without any antiperspirants or strong smells that may disturb others
- Please be respectful of other people in the space and don’t spread out too much
- Please be quiet in the sauna to respect others experience
And we have some safety recommendations, especially if it’s your first sauna:
- Take a bottle of ice water into the sauna, hydrate well before and after session
- Break up the experience into sections, try just 5 min, take a 2 min break and then head back in for another 5 and repeat
- If you begin to feel dizzy, sick or dehydrated leave the sauna and let a staff member know
- Shower after the sauna before entering the studio for yoga
