We offer Community Kirtan; singing and dancing to live music, where everyone is participating and celebrating the joy of being fully alive.

AMY BARNES YOGA

I am a seasoned yoga practitioner who began practicing at age 13 (1976) with my first beloved teacher June LaSalvia. A Nashville native, I grew up with a yogini/artist mother, and a father who was a Methodist minister & Civil Rights Activist; both parents being life long instigators and servants of social justice as well as musicians. My practice, teaching, and kirtan offerings are deeply rooted in Bhakti Yoga & Kundalini Tantra.

ENJOY BHAKTI

Bhakti Yoga is the yoga of devotion, love, and relationship, reconnecting with the longing in our hearts for true union. Through practices of sound, mantra, meditation, chanting/singing, dancing, and all forms of creative expression, we begin to reconnect with our own true nature, a Divine connection that may bring us a sense of peace, a feeling of being at home in ourselves. In this way, we actualize true interconnectedness.

JOIN KIRTAN

KIRTAN (from the Sanskrit word “to praise/to glorify”) is an ancient practice of mantra chanting in a call-and-response format. The leader sings a line and the audience sings it back, building and blending until there is not a distinction between the chant and chanter. Everyone is part of the celebration, and everyone makes the MUSIC. As we surrender into our devotional lives, we become more sensitive and alive.

RENEW YOUR LIFE AND PURPOSE

I offer individual 75- and 90-minute sessions that are specifically designed with regard to the unique needs and wholistic well being of the client. These sessions can be one-time appointments or ongoing, depending on what is in the best interest of the individual. I draw on my experience as a body-centered psychotherapist, group leader, intuitive, and long time yoga instructor.

I’ve known Amy for many years as a student and as a close friend. Over this period of time I’ve listened with wonder and joy as she has found her unique, personal voice in the world of Kirtan music. Amy is a beautiful, heart-full singer who possesses an aching, yearning and quite sensual devotional style. With her steel guitar and sultry voice she brings the country into the East and the East into the country.

LISTEN TO: NANDINI ~ DAUGHTER OF BLISS

This album blends traditional kirtan mantra chanting with a sweet & sometimes rockin’ southern gospel tone, inspiring the soul to wake up and sing! Karen Hogg & Elephant Journal say Amy Barnes’ debut CD is a “must have” for kirtan listeners!
