Kirtan is a bhakti (devotional) yoga practice.
Kirtan means to repeat. It incorporates repeating mantra for personal and worldly upliftment,
pranayama (breathing techniques) and asana (sitting postures).
It works actively on the throat and heart (all, really!) chakras to allow our life force to flow freely, so we can trust in, and rest comfortably in the seat of our True Self.
Jo Mall Kahn, from Edo & Jo shares:
Kirtan is a sangha [coming together for spiritual upliftment]...authentically sharing what we are going through...A part of the process of singing kirtan is to connect to our vulnerability, not trying to be perfect, but accepting me as I am, this is the only thing we can do.
Akash Bornstein from Radiant Light Yoga shares:
Every aspect of ourselves may serve as a doorway to the infinite. Just as our bodies become powerful conduits for the transformation of our beings, we can use the power of sound through the instrument of the voice to awaken, purify, and uplift ourselves on the deepest level.
