Kirtan
The ancient practice of Kirtan (call and response chanting) is a heart opening practice that helps us to come out of our busy heads and into our hearts, deepening our connection with ourselves, the world around us and others.
Kirtan is one of the 8 limbs of yoga known as Bhakti Yoga or the Yoga of Devotion. In this practice we come together to chant mantras, often in the sacred language of Sanskrit.
Through the powerful sound and vibration of the mantras we can find ourselves going into deep meditative states and experiences of stillness and joy.
This practice can help us to connect with the very best of ourselves, whilst giving strength and courage to face challenges in our life.
The practice itself is the teacher and no experience is necessary, it is not a practice of musical ability but a practice of the heart and everyone is welcome.
Singing from the heart, connecting to the Self
Chanting is a way of getting in touch with yourself. It is an opening of the heart and letting go of the mind and thoughts. It deepens the channel of Grace, and it is a way of being present in the moment

David has taught CSV (core strength Vinyasa) for 5 years and is now developing his knowledge of other practices such as Ashtanga and Personal training to bring and range and depth of knowledge to his practice.
With a keen personal practice in arm balances, workshops will be held throughout the year... watch this space!
