Sweet Sunday Kirtan

About this event

Please join us on Sunday, March 15th, at the lovely Svaha Yoga attic for another uplifting evening of Kirtan! Come and immerse yourself in sweet sounds and chant the ancient mantra's, the perfect way to transition into spring!

The practice of kirtan is part of the Bhakti Yoga path, the devotional path of yoga, or ‘the yoga of the heart’.. Through singing the names of the Divine, and uniting our voices, we offer all that is present within us, and allow ourselves to surrender to the power of the heart. Kirtan is a beautiful nourishing way of connecting to ourselves, softening our hearts and bodies, and tune in to that what is greater than us.

About…
Marieke and Stefani have been offering kirtan at Svaha Yoga for quite some years now. They met through the Sivananda Yoga Community, through their wonderful yoga teacher Susan Nicholas, many years ago. Both of them felt very drawn to the path of Bhakti Yoga straight away. Having spent time in India and in different ashrams in Europe, the Babaji tradition (of Haidhakhand Baba) has been an inspiration to both Marieke and Stefani. They have been visiting the Babaji Ashram Sada Shiva Dham (at the Veluwe) regularly over the past few years and are both regular on the Friday night kirtans at Svaha Yoga lead by Dhanyo Scholten. Their style of Kirtan is mostly based on the Babaji and Svaha tradition, meaning it is a bit different than the traditional call-and-response kirtan. Their kirtan tends to be quite energetic and melodious, often with a bit of a trancy vibe. All singing together, merging our voices, singing harmonies, allowing the heart to open and soften..!
