Surya - Light within, Light Beyond

In Yoga, Surya—the sun—is honoured as a source of vitality, clarity, and inner rhythm.

On June 7th, from 6–8 PM, guest teacher James Boag will guide an evening of kirtan and yogic storytelling, dedicated to the nourishing power of the sun—both in the sky and within the self. A warm, meditative gathering with mantra, sound, and meaning.

Kīrtan is a devotional practice rooted in ancient Indian traditions, where sacred mantras and songs are chanted together in a call-and-response style. It is a form of meditative music that connects participants to themselves and others, fostering a sense of joy, peace, and unity. Through its rhythmic melodies and powerful vibrations, kīrtan creates an uplifting and heart-opening experience.

No prior experience is needed—just bring your voice and an open heart. This is a joyful celebration of connection, as we come together as a group to experience the power and beauty of sacred sounds. Let the mantras guide you into a space of harmony, presence, and joy.
