KIRTAN
4:30PM - 6PM

Kirtan is the chanting of mantras in a group of people. Usually it is practiced in a call and response fashion.The kirtan leader sings a certain mantra and the group sings it back. This ancient yogic practice was traditionally accompanied with Indian instruments. In the hands and voices of contemporary practitioners, Kirtan has been transported beautifully to all cultural and musical styles without losing its genuine spiritual authenticity. Weaving together melody, music and mantra with people responding to the words of the singer, clapping, swaying and sometimes dancing, Kirtan is simultaneously a meditative, exhilarating and fun activity. Join us as we celebrate the spirit of love, oneness and compassion through an evening of music. All are welcomed to either participate or to simply observe and enjoy!

​
In classes we will focus on the science behind the relationships between the body,  the mind, and their bridges . We are concerned with the flow of prana, how and where it moves and does not move in posture, in nadi, with consciousness. Using the paradigms of Ha-tha Yoga and Ayurveda we will explore our capacity to be both strong and flexible, moving and still, Ha and Tha, and of course, migrating in the direction of steady appreciation and awareness.
