Johanna Beekman

Kirtan with Johanna Beekman

Join us for a night of heart centered call and response chanting of the Music of Yoga with special guest Johanna Beekman, a long time studio favorite and friend! Johanna’s love of singing and songwriting led her on a journey through a wide variety of styles—soul, gospel, folk, pop, rock, world beat, reggae, a cappella, jazz, dance, and more. Today her performances and recordings are generally grounded in kirtan—the music of yoga—and other forms of conscious music. But Johanna incorporates the most compelling elements of all of those styles into her songs no matter what she’s singing. And above all else, her spirit shines bright in every note. Come chant, meditate, pray, sing, and open your hearts together in an evening of devotion. All voices welcomed!

We hope you can join us.

Village Community Kirtan

Village Community Kirtan with Hannah Lerch & friends

We invite you to explore the heart-opening practice of Bhakti Yoga and enjoy an inspiring evening of community and Kirtan. Kirtan is not a performance, but a collective group offering. Together we will use our voices to participate in this uplifting and cathartic experience of chanting mantras.

No yoga mat is needed. The studio will provide props (blankets and bolsters). No singing or chanting experience is necessary.

Option to bring an offering for the altar (candles, murtis, flowers, crystals, photos, feathers, trinkets and other treasures).

Come as you are with an open mind and an open heart, and feel the benefits and healing power of Kirtan!
