Open your heart chakra through the practice of Bhakti Yoga — the yoga of devotion — through chanting of sacred Sanskrit mantras. Supported by the meditative sounds of harmonium and tabla, these weekly kirtan sessions are led by Kasey Gopala, a local musician, devotee, yoga instructor and international recording artist. All mantras are call-and-response; accessible to all; and can have a profound impact on your well-being.
