Bathe yourself in the beauty of sacred sound from the tradition of Yoga and from other indigenous traditions.

The practice of Kirtan offers simple mantras to listen, hear and sing or to sit in the beauty of the sound. The sacred sounds have a purifying and calming effect on the body mind system and invite harmonies, movement, other instruments, the sound of your voice or silence.

Let us create beauty together in this practice:

Time: 5-6.15pm the second Friday of each month

Venue: Yoga Living Space at Southshore

Followed by: Gentle evening herbal tea and shared plant-based finger food/nibbles

Contribution: Koha/Dana*

Please bring: Plant-based finger food/nibbles to share

*Koha or Dana (This is the act of giving generously and freely, without expecting anything in return. The value of the koha is determined by the giver, based on their capacity and the situation. It is an opportunity to acknowledge the source of the practices and the giving of them. It is a voluntary donation or contribution that is more than a simple gift. It signifies a gesture of respect, connection and appreciation. It is also the opportunity to give back to our community.)

"It was found that during repetitive singing of kirtan,

the brain registers the sound waves, nada,

which influence all other wave patterns of the brain.

These waves awaken alpha rhythms which immediately induce tranquility. 

Thus by singing kirtan, we experience peace of mind."

Swami Satyananda Saraswati
