GATHER ~ Kirtan & Social
Happy Om Yoga Studio 6.30-8PM
On the last Friday of the month (no session in October!)
This gathering is an evening of community, sacred sound vibration, mantra chanting, kirtan, and togetherness.
​​The word Mantra is derived from two Sanskrit roots; manas ‘mind’ and tra meaning ‘tool’. Mantra can teach the mind to become increasingly absorbed in that which is most essential. The Upanishads tell us that mantras can lead us towards healing, inspiration, transformation & and self-realisation.
"Mantra is a conversation between the self and divinity. All too often we separate ourselves from the divine, forgetting our truest nature. Chanting the names of God/Goddesses guides us back to a space of remembrance, of faith, devotion and love."

Kirtan - devotional, melodic call and response chanting in Sanskrit.

Calling upon the sacred sound allows your body and mind to absorb its resonance. Come and elevate yourself into a state of joy, unity, and deep connection.

What to expect from this offering:
-Vocal warm-up, Indian scale chanting
-Devotional, melodic call-and-response chanting of mantras in Sanskrit (you will learn the mantra pronunciation and meaning)
-Company of fellow human beings and deepening the connection to your self-essence
-Satsang (sat means truth); therefore, sitting in the company of the Truth
- Tea & Homemade treats

Benefits of Singing + Chanting...why do we do it?
Transformation of the Mind
- Remembrance of Divine; Remembrance of Self
- Purifies thoughts and alters habit patterns
- Calms the mind
- Upliftment of the Emotions
- Purifies our feelings - repeating a mantra with feeling internally short circuits the cascade of negative thoughts and emotions
bringing us back to the present moment

Physical Benefits of Group Singing
- Regulated breathing - Kirtan as a form of Pranayama (by causing us to
breathe deeply as we sing) -- increases the flow of energy / Prana throughout
the whole system.
- Singing releases endorphins and oxytocin (lessens feelings of depression, loneliness, even physical pain)
- Brain is charged with positive energy
- Soothes, recharges, and strengthens the nervous system, creating relaxation,
releasing stress (lowers cortisol levels in the blood).
- Vagus nerve stimulation
- Social benefits
- Connection to others; strengthen feelings of togetherness, intimacy
- Vulnerability, sympathy
Booking is essential as spaces are limited. Open to absolutely everyone / £ 15
A discounted rate is available for this offering if you are unable to pay the full price. Please just email me:
