Join Snehan Born for an ‘open mic’ community kirtan. We will share and take turns in leading call and response chanting. You are welcome to participate in leading or join in with your voice for responding only. No music experience is necessary.

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.

Snehan Born, E-RYT 500, has over four decades of experience with yoga. He resides at the Integral Yoga Institute of San Francisco, where he teaches yoga classes and is a lead teacher trainer. Snehan is certified in all levels of Integral Yoga Hatha and has received additional certifications in Pranayama, Meditation, Raja Yoga and Stress Management from Integral Yoga. Chanting mantras and playing the harmonium are part of his regular practice and classes. Snehan has lived and traveled extensively within India and practiced with many teachers there. He has taught yoga all over the US as well as in India, Nepal, South America, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Japan and Europe.

Jai Uttal invites you to sit together, sing together and explore together the world of Bhakti Yoga, the Yoga of the Heart.

In this intimate and spacious afternoon, we will connect to our devotional hearts, and reflect on how this connection ripples outward to all of our relationships and the flow of life.

The simple practices of Bhakti Yoga enliven the well of emotions within us and awaken the long forgotten memories of Divine Love that live in the DNA of every being.

Through the practice of Kirtan we explore, express, and share the deepest caverns of our souls and, ultimately, find the eternal spring of love.

Jai creates a safe environment for people to open their hearts and voices.
No previous experience is needed. This is an exploration and expression of the heart and the spirit.

Please Join Easy E for an evening of chanting. His style of Kirtan is wonderful for all levels of Kirtan goers, with an easy flow of music and lyrics that are simple to follow and chant to. Easy E wants everyone to focus on the medicine of the music and not the complication of the lyrics. With an Easy and gentle flow of mantra music, Easy E takes everyone down a path of devotional music and challenges everyone to dive deep into their hearts and feel the true spirit of what Kirtan can dish out for its participants.

Easy E was born and raised in Southern California and found the Bhakti practice back in 2015 when he went to India on a retreat with Govindas from the Bhakti Yoga Shala. It was on that trip that Easy E was introduced to Hanuman, and the connection was life changing. Easy E comes from a musical background and has been playing the acoustic guitar since he was 8 years old. With a deep rooted background in Judaism, the Bhakti path was like a coming home party for Easy E, playing and singing mantras was heart opening which is very transparent to all those who chant together with him. He often plays with Hanuman Ji’s, a Band of Friends, born out of the Bhakti Yoga Shala in Santa Monica California.
