What is Om?

A sacred syllable regarded as the sound of the universe. Often chanted to open or close a yoga class.
Om is one of the oldest symbols in Indian philosophy and yoga. It is believed to represent the primal vibration from which the entire universe arose.
In yoga classes, Om is often chanted together at the beginning or end of practice. It helps synchronize the breath, calm the mind, and create a sense of unity within the group.
