Course Description:
Join us for a 6 week live online course on Zoom designed for those wanting to begin or build a foundation in a study of the harmonium, music, and kirtan. The harmonium is the perfect companion for chanting and support for your practice of Bhakti Yoga, one of the Four Paths of Yoga according to Swami Sivananda’s Yoga of Synthesis. In this course, you will not only learn new skills and techniques to help develop your personal practice, but you will also get to be a part of a community of other seekers on this path. Seth facilitates a learning environment that is interactive, fun, and engaging. Each class will provide opportunities to connect with other members of the course, share your questions and progress, and receive positive feedback and encouragement from Seth and your fellow participants.
Class size is limited to allow for more personal attention and a more intimate, group experience. Early registration is recommend to ensure a space. You will need a harmonium to participate.
