Kirtan & Raaga: The Harmony of Music and Yoga

Aberdeen Pavilion
60 minutes

Experience the fusion of music and yoga in this immersive Kirtan workshop, where melody, vocal technique, and mindful movement converge. Discover the significance of Raaga—the classical framework of melody—in devotional chanting, and how it amplifies the emotional and spiritual depth of Kirtan. Through guided breathwork, vocal exercises, and traditional Raaga-inspired phrasing, participants will uncover music’s transformative potential as a tool for balance, healing, and creativity. This workshop offers a sacred space to nurture both voice and spirit, celebrating the profound connection between sound and the self.
