LIVE KIRTAN: A SACRED MUSIC + CHANTING EXPERIENCE
SATURDAY, JUNE 22 | 7:30pm-9:00PM
with
Sherrie Howard+ Friends

Bhakti Yoga is the yoga of devotion and is often practiced via kirtan – or chanting. Kirtan is a call and response of Sanskrit chants or mantras. The chanting is accompanied by guitar, drums, and often a harmonium. Songs are simple – just one or two lines repeated over, and over, and over. And in the repeating of these unfamiliar words sometimes called "yoga asana for the mouth" something truly magical happens; the pranic body begins to awaken. This is the subtle energy layer that we begin to tune into and directly experience when we practice yoga. It moves and transforms pranic energy from the environment into life force energy – another example of this would be breath work, or pranayama.
When our pranic body is strong, we feel less fear and more joy, vibrant and even youthful, healthy, and active. Bhakti yoga is one way to clear out blockages and make space for more of what you love in your life!
Join your ATMY+W Family along with kirtan artist and 1000-hour Kripalu yoga teacher, Sherrie Howard and our local yogi/musician friends, Joe Parillo and Dana Macguire as well as other accompanying musicians for an evening of community jubilation and uplifted spirits. Open your heart, feel connected, and find your voice!
Special thanks to another yogi friend, Marc Critchett and the folks at The Pump House for donating all the sound equipment to make this a fantastic event for all!
