Kirtan with Bhava at PranaShanti - Friday July 9th, 7:00 PM

With a shared love of Devotional Yoga (Bhakti Yoga), Elissar, Naomi, Tanya, Guy, Arif and Stephane first came together in May 2010 to see what they could form with this love. Singing traditional chants together on Spring evenings and afternoons lit a warm and inviting flame, which grew into an evening of Kirtan at PranaShanti Yoga Centre.

Come join us for an evening of Kirtan with traditional Hindu and Sufi call and response.

BHAVA means sheer ecstasy, a condition caused when the heart is seized by the divine embrace. Bhava are students of Yoga, Ayurveda, Sufism, Shamanism, and of all of Life's Mysterious Instruments, whether musical or mystical!

Bhava will carry beautiful ancient songs, through their voices, sitar, harmonium and darbouka. Printed lyrics provided so everyone can follow along and join in with the melodies. All ages and muscial abilities are welcome!

The Bhava group members are:

  • Arif Jinha: Sitar
  • Stephane Laurence-Pressault: Darbouka
  • Naomi Guzman-Poole: Shaker and Voice
  • Tanya Nash: Voice
  • Elissar Hanna: Voice and harmonium
  • Guy Tardif: Voice
Cost: $15.00 per person. No chanting or singing experience needed - just an openness to beautiful sounds.

Date and Time:  Friday, July 9th, 7:00 PM
Location:
