When the mind is packed with the worries and troubles of a busy day, there is a particular yogic process which can transport your consciousness from dreary worldliness to sparkling bliss. It is so simple that everyone in the world can practice and enjoy it, whether young or old, rich or poor. That powerful electric process of transcendence from worldly troubles into the nectar of bhakti is called kirtan.
Kirtan is a musical meditation, one of the easiest ways to meditate. Experience the powerful effect of chanting with others (you can sing along). Let go of stress and anxiety as you let these sounds wash over you like a soothing waterfall, resting your mind and heart in sacred sounds.
In kirtan one or more persons sit in a circle, with a few musical instruments such as mridang, kanjeera, dholak, harmonium, sitar, tambura, tabla, etc. and sing the Lord’s name in one tune, one rhythm, and at one time. When, by the attractive power of kirtan, minds are tuned toward this process, the bliss of kirtan flows through all. The essential thing is to sing with feeling, so that devotion and joy are communicated to all. This is more important than producing technically correct sounds.
All are welcome, with your open heart and friends. You are welcome to join in with your voice or simply be in the space, connect to the sound and vibration of Kirtan, the chanting of sacred mantra and prayer to open our hearts and uplift our spirits
It is our goal in our Community to offer classes with a diverse selection of practices. By teaching community yoga classes, we get to spend time with people who may not have crossed our paths or even tried yoga otherwise. We have qualified teachers, each with their own passion and gifts.
Classes are open for all levels, which means the teacher will give you options to adjust the practice to meet your needs. In order to guide you to the intensity you are desiring, we are providing a soft guide to the intensity level of each class. The time together in these spaces, heart to heart, is a profound experience for both yoga teachers and their students.
Let’s work together more than ever before to be the best example of a POSITIVE community for the world. May our united offering benefit everyone to raise the vibration back to our true joyful selves!
