Kinetic Kirtan

Description of Class

There is a concession available for this course for people: Under 25, over 65 or in full time unemployment. Kirtan is a beautiful Bhakti (devotional) practice that fosters a sense of community and connection with the divine. Through collective chanting, the sense of separation is dissolved or ‘cut through’ returning us to our natural state of connectedness and flow, allowing the wandering mind to gently merge, with breath and body into cohesiveness. Each chant revolves around a particular mantra or deity, that can be thought of as a constellation of, or focus of energy, using repetition, call and response. We will explore our inner state with a short movement practice at the beginning to disorganise tension and prepare the mind/body for a joyful journey to heart centre. Suitable for all. Your tutor Lisa is dedicated to creating a calm space for self exploration and believes the practice of yoga should be a breath centered, nurturing personal journey to feeling awakened, light of heart and at ease through the body. Lisa believes yoga should be accessible to all, regardless of fitness levels, body size, age, financial capacity… if you can draw breath you can drop into moments of yoga. Her passions are yoga, singing, teaching & studying. Through weaving these together, she aim’s to help people access those moments of flow (vahī) and absorption (samādhi).
