Combining Ananda Yoga with high quality, therapeutic grade essential oils brings your experience to a whole new level! We'll breathe deeply, stretch & move into a higher level of awareness.

Essential oils can help relieve stress, improve sleep, reduce tension and help quiet the mind. Ananda Yoga is known for its gentle, accessible, meditative approach; distinct rest periods between postures; and the use of affirmations. Combined, the synergistic effect is powerful, transformative.

All experience levels welcome; bring a glass or stainless-steel water container; dress comfortably. Class includes essential oil use and safety.

About the Instructor: Sandra Russi, E-RYT, has been teaching yoga in the Ananda tradition for over 20 years. Known for her clear instructions and calm presence, students leave her class more aware of their own inner peace & joy.

Journey To Awaken Kirtan Experience!




Saturday, 7 pm. May 21st, June 25th, July 23, and August 13
Suggested Donation $10.00

Every great spiritual tradition uses the repetition of a single word, a phrase or a series of phrases as one of its practices of awakening. In some cases, the practice is done in the quiet of our own mind, as in the Buddhist practice of Loving Kindness (Metta). In other cases, it is spoken or sung out loud, sometimes to the accompaniment of musical instruments.

Depending on the tradition, these practices are referred to as chanting, kirtan or mantram. Kirtan is a Sanskrit word for devotional singing or chanting. Songs, hymns, chants and mantras are put to music known in India as Bhajans. They come in a variety of forms and languages including Hindi, Bengali, Sanskrit, Pali and English. Many are ancient chants and mantras given to us by saints, sages, yogis and great masters from long, long ago and hard to date.

Journey To Awaken Kirtan honors the rays of the One light of spiritual wisdom, as expressed through chanting in the Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, Judaic and Indigenous peoples traditions.

When chanting...

        it is best to focus inward, singing with devotion rather than emotion and to sit in silence afterwards with your awareness focused inwardly and upwardly, resting in the quiet stillness generated by the chant itself. Certainly the chant is important, but often it is the silence afterwards that moves us.

All are welcome!
No one turned away for lack of funds, No singing experience needed, Come and share in the joy of Kirtan!
