Monthly on full moon

We gather once a month to chant the Gayatri Mantra, the great mantra of Light and Liberation, to maximize the spiritual benefits of the full moon.

“oṃ bhūr bhuvaḥ svaḥ
tat savitur vareṇyaṃ
bhargo devasya dhīmahi
dhiyo yo naḥ pracodayāt”
– Rigveda 3.62.10[11]

Madhavi Maria Monserrat Becht, RYT-500 began practicing yoga and fell deeply in love with it in 2014 while living in Princeton NJ. She had a Tibetan meditation practice, but something was missing and since then yoga has been her life. Madhavi has a passion for cooking healthy meals, working with healing plants, cacao ceremonies, hiking and being in nature. She moved to IYI San Francisco in 2018 where she decided to go deeper into her practice and live in community. She feels like Integral Yoga is her home. While living in the ashram she has deepened her meditation practice, completed two 200 hour basic training, yin and yoga nidra. Madhavi’s goal is to help others to live more peacefully and in harmony with nature.

Join us and feel the joy as we sing the Names of Divine feminine in celebration of Navaratri. Kirtan is the Yoga practice of chanting Sanskrit mantras, sacred sound formulas that create a peaceful and uplifting vibration. Singing these holy mantras together calms the thinking mind, illuminates the heart and awakens the spiritual consciousness within. Kirtan is a form of Bhakti Yoga, singing the names of the Divine and a calling out of the soul for support, protection and guidance. No music experience is necessary.

Prajna Vieira is the lead singer of the Mukti Kirtan Ensemble and is also known for her work with Jai Uttal and other artists. She has dedicated her life to studying, practicing, and sharing traditional yoga practices and Bhakti arts.

All live classes with Jai Uttal start Sep. 19th. Eight Sundays a month from 1-2:30 pm PT

Embark on an 8 month journey of the heart with a dedicated community of Bhaktas.

• Merge your voice into the centuries old river of Bhakti.
• Meditate on the name and on the form of the Divine.
• Get inspiration to practice from deeper knowledge and dedication.

Do you ever wish you could learn to chant? Do you have an existing mantra or kirtan practice and want to go deeper? Have you been wanting to connect with other people who love yoga, mantra and kirtan?

This training will take you from wherever you are now in your path to the next step.

You will receive:

⭐️ In-depth singing practice sessions with Jai Uttal. This will help us refine and tune our God-given vocal instruments which, in turn, will help us to connect our voices to our emotions and to spirit. Also, singing in the more exotic scales will open our minds to new musical combinations and our hearts to new devotional moods and feelings.
⭐️ Eight LIVE interactive zoom classes with Jai Uttal
⭐️ Two LIVE interactive zoom sessions with our dear friend and co-teacher Daniel Paul on the rhythms of kirtan
⭐️ Two live sessions with our very own Nubia on the Gods and Goddesses of Bhakti
⭐️ Online practice sessions of the songs we are learning
⭐️ Two Kartel lessons

In 8 months you will have an opportunity to develop and receive support for a deeper inner and outer practice as well as make meaningful connections in our growing community. We will be sharing lots of goodies and surprises!

The world is sorely in need of healing vibrations and by singing together from the depths of our hearts we can continue to ‘ripple outward’ and help envelope the planet in a blanket of Love, while strengthening ourselves and our vibrant Bhakti community.
