Monday Night Kirtan at Pleasure Point Yoga 2018~2019

4/22/19 - 'Kirtan is for all people. There are no experts, no beginners. The practice itself is the teacher, guiding us to ourselves... it is a participatory music experience of sacred mantras and devotional chants performed in a call and response style which involves the audience in the performance' 
Two years ago, renowned yoga teacher, podcaster/influencer  Emily Perry was inspired with the 'build-it-and-they-will-come' idea of hosting a monthly Kirtan gathering in Santa Cruz on a Monday night. The event has since gained traction and evolved into a popular and nourishing gathering each month at Pleasure Point Yoga in Santa Cruz, California. 
Here's a sampling of a few of those sweet gatherings over the past couple of years...
