if you've never tried a kirtan, Saturday's your day [or aug. 30]

This Saturday, North Main Yoga will host the group, Anjali, for a kirtan to celebrate the summer solstice. My students may recognize Anjali music in class (the 'passing through' song, for one) from the CD Yoga hOMe, from Kristin Luna Ray, one of the group members.

For those of you who've never been to a kirtan before, let me demystify it: you don't have to dance. you will get swept away in the music. you don't have to know the songs by heart (that's what the songbook is for). you will want to go back.

Some people say singing and chanting in a kirtan is an emotional release, letting the vibrations and sounds of the chants flush and restore the body and mind. Come and try for yourself.

This Saturday, June 21. 8 p.m. $10.

About Me

I owe my passion for yoga and its transformative nature to my teachers, namely Max Strom. I have been teaching since December, 2006. I teach an all-levels vinyasa flow class, which focuses on the breath as the key to change and healing. As my teacher, Max, says, we just add the poses to the breath. I have completed a 30-hour teacher training with Max in Kansas City and another 54-hour training with him in Greenville; a 230-hour, 9-month intensive with Max's students and owners of North Main Yoga studio, Brian and Liz Delaney; and a Yin Yoga teacher training with Shala Worsley from the Asheville Yoga Center. Most recently, I have begun studying Thai Yoga Massage privately with Asheville therapist Lia Pardy. In April, I will enroll in the Asheville School of Massage & Yoga to pursue my massage therapist license.
