Kirtan is call-and-response chanting rooted in Bhakti (devotional) yoga. The chants cleanse the body, mind and spirit, and reawaken the connection between the individual self and the Universal Self. Moreover, chanting is a main component of spiritual healing in Ayurveda, the sister science of yoga. Adrienne plays the harmonium, a beautiful instrument commonly used in traditional Indian music, to help lead the practice. No previous chanting or musical experience is ever necessary to attend; this practice is an excellent way to delve into the non-physical aspects of yoga, where joy and healing can be found through breath and sacred sound.
