A kirtan is a kind of group meditation through chanting or singing mantras. Typically short phrases are repeated or call and response. Though kirtans are a kind of communal magic rather than 'performances,' our kirtans are led by [NAME], {NAME}, and (NAME) who travel from Cambridge to sing with us.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

No singing or musical experience is required whatsoever. We invite you to just be as you are. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yoga is not about being in competition! Always respect your body and disclose any injuries to your teacher. Adjustments can be offered and support tailored to your needs.<\/strong>

If you have any injuries\/medical conditions please make sure that I know before class and include relevant details on the sign-in sheet in the first class of the course.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tI attended the Kirtan singing session and it exceeded my expectations. My hope was that it would help me begin to restore both my inner and outer singing voice. My voice used to be strong but it somehow became lost over the years with no group of similar minded people to share it with. The session provided a gentle and safe space to move forward. Thank you.\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBeen a student here for around 8 or so years. I've visited at various times throughout this period. Life for me has been somewhat of a whirlwind of issues, especially over the last 2 years. But the yoga has helped hold me together and given me the depth to accept and deal with these. Renate has always been nothing but brilliant. Fully recommended in every way. Last visit was the Kirtan, 17\/10\/24. Whilst there I felt inspired with the need to regrow and re-experience life.
