The practice of kirtan involves a participatory chanting of songs or Sanskrit mantra' with the accompaniment of instruments like the harmonium, flute, tablas, or other percussion. It is a form of Bhakti, or devotional yoga. Similar to the Blues and Gospel music, kirtan is founded on a 'call-and-response' format between a leader (kirtankar) and a group, or sangha. While practicing kirtan, any playful dance or musical improvisation is encouraged! Come join us and practice this form of devotional yoga. Express yourself, and celebrate the body, the breath and the spirit!
