It is often chanted three times in yoga to create a sense of balance and connection between the physical body, mind, and spirit. Chanting shanti three times helps to bring awareness to the present moment, allowing practitioners to be mindful of their breath and movements during practice. The repetition also invokes inner stillness and peace that can help one focus on their practice more deeply. By chanting shanti three times, yogis can cultivate a sense of serenity within themselves that will carry through into other aspects of life.
