Kirtan Yoga with Sanjaya
Revive Yoga, Chatsworth
Friday, Nov 7th, 8:30-9:30pm
Cost: Donation based
Meditation doesn't come easy for many people. And that's where kirtan-an ancient participatory music experience-offers another method.
Without the work of mentally quieting the mind, kirtan can carry us effortlessly to a place of quiet, to stillness. One of the oldest sacred music traditions of the world, the kirtan call-and-response chanting genre comes to us from India. Using ancient Sanskrit mantras, the kirtan calls upon sacred energies which serve to quiet the mind, remove obstacles, and bring us back to the center of our being.
Please come join us for an evening of music and celebration for the heart and soul!

Kirtan Yoga with Sanjaya
Revive Yoga, Chatsworth
Friday, Nov 7th, 8:30-9:30pm
Cost: Donation based
Meditation doesn't come easy for many people. And that's where kirtan-an ancient participatory music experience-offers another method.
Without the work of mentally quieting the mind, kirtan can carry us effortlessly to a place of quiet, to stillness. One of the oldest sacred music traditions of the world, the kirtan call-and-response chanting genre comes to us from India. Using ancient Sanskrit mantras, the kirtan calls upon sacred energies which serve to quiet the mind, remove obstacles, and bring us back to the center of our being.
Please come join us for an evening of music and celebration for the heart and soul!
