Mantra Therapy for Perfectionism
From Pressure to Pleasure through Sound Yoga
A brilliantly brand-new 6 week mantra practice & coaching container that alchemizes perfectionism and all of its reverberations in your life!
Starting February 2025!
My Story (How I did it!)
My perfectionism thrived on self-judgment and rigid expectations. Mantra therapy taught me to embrace spacious awareness and luminous self-acceptance, and I've helped hundreds of students do the same.
"Perfectionism has been such a DEEP, THICK pattern for me. I was even using my yoga therapy tools to bludgeon myself! Feeling I always “have to” make myself better. But with the Heart of Sound, I feel so relaxed. In this therapeutic approach to sound, I can truly FEEL myself again. Aaaaaaahhhh…."
Casey Coda
Yoga Therapist
This mantra therapy container is for you if you experience:
- Perfectionism stress
- Impostor syndrome
- Self-criticism and negative self-talk
- Comparison to others
- Self-esteem which fluctuates depending on external factors (job success, romance, attention & praise, etc.)
- A compulsive need to be right, to be seen as “good,” to get approval from authority figures and social circles
- Gripping, clenching, chronic tension with psycho-somatic roots
"I took “to be” off my to-do list. I’m living a more centered, simple, true way of being."
Boaz Mourad
PhD (Psychology Princeton), NYU Dept. of Psychology , Principal at Insight Research Group
Aaaahhh... non-performative, non-dogmatic approach to sound yoga!
This Mantra Therapy container helps you nurture:
- Self-pleasure through the sound of your voice
- Connection to your unique essence that is self-shining (not dependent on external factors)
- A constant source of all-embracing acceptance and peace within yourself
- Mental and emotional stability that is rooted in essence (not rigid ideals)
How This Course Works
Yearning to soften into ease & acceptance this year?
6 Weeks of Sound Healing Yoga Therapy designed for All 5 Bodies:
In āyurveda we have a concept of 5 kośas, or 5 sheaths that conceal our inherent wholeness: body, mind, breath, identity, and bliss. In our work with sound yoga therapy, we use the techniques of mantra and nāda yoga to harmonize disturbances in all 5 sheaths:
- Nāda yoga meditation for enlivening the ānandamaya kośa and softening resistance to fully feeling our inherent joy of being
- Sanskrit mantra meditation for the vijñānamaya, prānamaya & manomaya kośa, to wrap our heads around what “perfection” really is and attune through breath and mental repetition that “I am that!”
- Yogāsana & self-massage practice designed to soften the painful grip of perfectionism through the layers of the physical body
How Mantra Therapy for Perfectionism Works
- Any mantra can help exercise awareness, allowing us to see ourselves as larger than the fluctuations of the mind.
- Mantras open a space of detachment from self-judgment, shifting focus to a grounded, eternal truth.
- By aligning intention, focus, and the sound vibrations of the mantra itself (which is formulated to stimulate expanded awareness), mantra therapy can cultivate a profound sense of presence.
- Each repetition of the mantra gently untangles different "knots" that have obscured your sense of wholeness, creating space for peace and self-luminosity.

Practical Application of Mantra Therapy for Perfectionism in Daily Life
- Use mantra chanting as a daily practice to interrupt cycles of self-criticism and cultivate compassionate self-awareness.
- By starting each day with a few repetitions of the mantra, we create a touch-point with an inner sense of fullness.
- As we engage with our day, we mentally return to the mantra and tap back into that touchpoint.
- This process lays down new grooves in our habitual mental patterns, turning down the volume on self-critical rumination and turning UP the volume on self-acceptance and gratitude.
