Kirtan with Oxana Weber

Chanting is a great way to release stress and tension.

Many people fi nd it challenging to sit and meditate but the

combination of sound, breath and rhythm in Kirtan helps to

bring about a feeling of joy and inner peace. The vibrations of

each chant move through the body and help to stimulate the

hormones that calm the mind and relax the body.

The mantras in Kirtan are chanted in a call-and-response

musical instruments, such as harmonium, drums and guitar.

There is no need to be shy as everyone’s voices

blend together alongside the music.
