Mantra & Kirtan Sun Weekend

Do you love singing with all your heart and want to learn how to combine it with yoga and meditation?

Do you already practice yoga and meditation but wish to incorporate sound, singing, and music into your practice?Is there an inner voice longing to express itself, but you’re not sure how?Or are you deeply engaged in yoga, mantra, kirtan, and bhakti yoga and want to dedicate more time to it?

No matter your background or level, if any of this resonates with you, you are warmly welcome to this weekend retreat with us.We, Silje Sridharana and Kristiane Yashoda, are already completely in love with these practices and want to share them with you. Yes to more yoga, singing, mantra, and kirtan in life!

The Focus of the Weekend

This weekend, we will place extra focus on the sun and solar energy – Surya and Ha – the active and outward-facing aspects. March is the month when we can truly feel the return of the light as we approach the spring equinox and finally feel the sun's warmth on our skin again.

We will practice Sun Salutations with solar mantras and engage in energy-boosting exercises to strengthen the connection to our inner sun. The weekend will also include a Havan, a yogic fire ceremony.

What Type of Yoga?

We practice classical yoga following the Satyananda tradition, where the use of mantra and yantra is part of the traditional approach. Nature inspires us, and we also draw from mindfulness, Buddhist meditation, yin yoga, and restorative yoga. You will recognize elements from these practices.
