I am presently at Kriplau Yoga Center, excited about the Ecstasy of Chant weekend. I will be joined by Pankaj and Ajay Sharma They have both been a strong part of my presentations these last few years. Ajay is an amazing drummer (Indian devotional percussion) and Pankaj sings and performs on additional devotional percussion instruments. He is also a teacher in his own right. Our collaborations have been filled with great light and love and have affected participants powerfully. You can learn more about them at http://www.yogaofconsciousness.com/ andhttp://www.lightofloveunlimited.com/
This fall, I will be presenting a very special weekend with them at their family temple “Hari Om Mandir” in Downingtown, PA. Their parents are also steeped in the practice of kirtan and devotional yoga. Ajay and Pankaj will also be with me at Kripalu for my Ecstasy of Chant weekend, and Ajay will be joining me at the Open Center in NYC. Please see details below.
