What is Kirtan?
Kirtan is the devotional heart of Bhakti Yoga, the yoga of love. We sing ancient Sanskrit mantras: one voice leads, everyone sings back. The repetition, the rhythm and the sound of many voices together gently quiet the mind and open the heart.
It is not a performance, but a shared practice. Nobody needs a „good“ voice, only the willingness to let go and sing.
Curious? Read about the Sita Ram Mantra or how sound calms your nervous system (in German).
What to expect on a Wednesday
Arrive a few minutes early, find a cushion and settle in. Then we sing together for about two hours, moving between soft, meditative mantras and joyful, uplifting chants.
Anna leads the kirtan with voice and harmonium, accompanied by Johnny and JB on guitar and percussion. After each mantra we pause and rest in the silence that follows. Many people leave feeling lighter, peaceful and deeply connected.
Who can join?
Everyone: locals, expats and travellers, beginners and experienced chanters. No musical or yoga experience needed. Just bring yourself and an open heart. 💗

Anna, Johnny & JB
I’m Anna, a Bhakti Yoga teacher and harmonium teacher, and I love nothing more than singing mantras with others. Together with Johnny and JB, I hold this weekly space for everyone who wants to connect through sacred sound.
