Kirtan – Evening Meditation

We always integrate yoga with kirtan in Sanskrit, Hindi, and Gurmukhi. They’re even chanting in English. Kirtan out of the temples and the yoga studios and into dance halls, universities, cathedrals, and other unexpected places.

Kirtan means “to praise that which is exalted,” the divine. Similarly, kirtan derives from a Sanskrit root meaning “to cut through,” so it is also “a practice for cutting through the idea of separation and connecting to ourselves through sound.”
