What is Kirtan? And why does it move something deep within us?
Kirtan is a form of devotional chanting and a key part of Bhakti Yoga; the path of love, surrender, and heartfelt connection. Through repeating sacred mantras, we quiet the mind and awaken something deeper inside.

At Aum Yoga Center, music is at the core of our practice. We use kirtan, mantra, and crystal sound bowls not just for relaxation, but as tools for transformation, presence, and devotion.
Because of this unique approach, we created the Nada Yoga Teacher Training; a program that blends traditional yoga with the healing power of sound.

✨ In this training, you’ll explore: 🎵 Kirtan and mantra chanting 🎶 Crystal sound bowls 🧘‍♀️ Asana, pranayama, and yogic philosophy ❤️ The devotional roots of Bhakti Yoga
If you feel deeply connected to music, and want to teach yoga in a way that is soulful, grounded, and heart-led, this path may be calling you.

Let sound guide you inward. Let it become your practice, your offering, your way home.

It’s not about perfect. It’s about effort, and when you bring that effort every single day that’s where transformation happens, 🙏🏻That’s how the change occurs🙏🏻 Picture credits- @sebastian.gora.photographer #yogapractice #unstoppable #myindiafitindia #yogaindia #yoga #india #indian #balance #arm #yogachallenge #yogainspiration #yogajourney #yogaanywhere #fitindia #yogaforeveryone #yogafit #2018 ##relyonthethirdeye #patrioticशंकर #union #lifestyle #kailasayogasquad #peace #jaana by @nada_shivaa

There is an undeniable shift when you surrender to the sound of Maa Kali’s name together. Sending sacred vibrations, protection, and love your way this Friday. Shubh Navratri from both of us. ✨🌿
Close your eyes, take a breath, and listen with your heart. 🤍

This Navratri, millions will bow to a statue while the living Shakti carries the entire household on her own. If your devotion doesn’t start with basic respect under your own roof, what are we really doing here?
Tell me honestly: are we worshipping the Goddess, or are we just following a checklist?

Your breath changes before your mind even realizes what’s happening:
• Anger → Fast, shallow, trapped in the chest
• Anxiety → Frozen and locked up
• Sadness → Heavy sighs with dropped shoulders
When your thoughts start spinning, don’t try to reason with them—change the rhythm:
The Yogic Breath Reset:
1. Inhale slow & deep into the belly (4 counts)
2. Exhale smooth and effortless (8 counts)
Extend the exhale, and your nervous system has no choice but to settle.
Save this checklist for your desk, and share it with someone who carries their stress in their chest today.

Stepping into Navratri with the raw, timeless grace of the Divine Mother. Chanting among the thousand-year-old stones and sacred waters of Srah Srang, Cambodia. 🪷
May Maa Kali clear all illusions, and Maa Durga ignite unshakeable strength within.
Chanting with @Celine
Wishing you all a powerful and blessed Navratri. Jai Mata Di. ✨

You aren’t having a mental crisis. Your nervous system is just drowning in cortisol.
Most people enter Monday with shallow breathing, clenched teeth, and their body trapped in a silent fight-or-flight loop before 10 AM.
This double inhale followed by a prolonged exhale is a physiological sigh. It immediately forces the alveoli in your lungs to pop back open, activates the vagus nerve, and lowers your heart rate in under 20 seconds.
Try one round right now.
Did your shoulders drop? Tell me below.
Save this for the afternoon crash.

When sacred sound meets ancient land.
Chanting Bum Bholenathaya alongside the deep, resonant drone of the Australian didgeridoo—recorded by the waters of Angkor.
In Nada Yoga, sound is not performance; it is acoustic therapy designed to bring the nervous system into resonance and stillness. The build in tempo moves stagnant energy, while the final silence integrates it.
Save this for your daily reset, or put on your headphones and close your eyes.

Prayer was never meant to be a business deal.
Most of us grow up treating the altar like a negotiation table: “Fix my problem, and I’ll give you sweets.” But the power that created billions of galaxies isn’t waiting for a box of laddoos.
True prayer has no demands, no discounts, and no bribes. It’s simply sitting still, dropping the deals, and saying thank you for your breath.
Drop the bargaining today.
Send this to someone who needs a gentle reminder. #spirituality #mindfulness #spiritualawakening #innerpeace ce #gratitude by @nada_shivaa

Stop counting 1-2-3-4 during box breathing.
Counting keeps your active, calculating brain awake. To calm a racing nervous system, replace numbers with a single internal sound—like Om Namah Shivaya.
In traditional practice, this is Samavritti (the equal ratio breath).
Chant mentally across all four sides:
• Inhale (Chant internally)
• Hold full (Chant internally)
• Exhale (Chant internally)
• Hold empty (Chant internally)
The mind drops out of analysis and straight into parasympathetic calm.
Try 4 rounds next time your thoughts start looping.
Save this for your evening practice, and share it with someone who needs a reset today.
