Kirtan is the Yoga practice of chanting Sanskrit mantras, sacred sound formulas that create peaceful and uplifting vibrations. Singing of the sacred mantras and the names of the Divine calms the thinking mind, illuminates the heart, and awakens the spiritual consciousness within. This Bhakti Yoga practice is a true gift from the ancient teachers of India.
No musical experience is necessary.
