SoundBody, SoundMind: Part 1 LOTUS: A Sacred Symbol

This Workshop series was developed by Kirtan to provide a rich, lush, unique yoga experience. Each installment of the series will feature incredible musicians who will enhance the Asana practice with live music, and enchant us with stories, parables and mantras.
The inaugural SoundBody, SoundMind exploration will feature GauraVani on flutes, drums and harmonium, and Jahnavi Harrison on South Indian violin and vocals. Our focus will be the Mystical Lotus Flower. Across the globe, this exquisite flower has intrigued and captivated humanity for thousands of years. Through story-telling, singing and Asana, we will delve into the mythological symbolism of the Lotus, it’s place in the pantheon of Hindu Gods and Goddesses, as well as it’s meaning in Hatha-Vinayasa Yoga and the energetic body.
The Workshop is developed with students of all levels.
