Starting Monday the 10th 8:10-10PM
~KIRTAN~
THE YOGA OF DEVOTION
with Melissa Ann
Kirtan falls within a branch of yoga called Bhakti Yoga
the yoga of devotion.
During kirtan, we sing Sanskrit mantras in a call-and-response style
while harmonium, sitar, tabla, chimes, guitar, flute and other instruments are played.
Through which a feeling of calm and peace pervade the room;
where the monkey mind chatter becomes still
and connection to the Divine is tangible.
Made popular in the West by names such as
Krishna Das, David Stringer, Deva Premal and Miten,
kirtan is sweeping the United States and the globe!
Melissa Ann uses simple mantras,
provides a relaxed, comfortable setting,
and imbibes a blissful transcendental experience for all attendees.
We start with an opening chakra meditation,
chant 3-4 bhajans (songs),
take a mini-mid-session yoga break,
chant 3-4 more bhajans,
and close with a prayer.
No musical experience is needed,
just an open heart and mind.
Donation based.
