Kirtan is group prayer and meditation, invoking sacred Sanskrit mantras, set to enchanting melodies and mystical rhythms. Its magic rests upon the principle that ‘the name of God IS God’. One of the primary practices of Bhakti yoga - the yoga of spiritual devotion - kirtan takes place in community with fellow spiritual seekers, collectively evoking the many aspects of the divine. The musical format is call-and-response chanting, with the leader offering an impassioned call, to which the participants listen with intention and respond with devotion and pure abandon. This mutual exchange manifests the inexplicable power that dwells within every human heart and blossoms in spiritual community.

Join Tom Voss () & Trevor Arthur () in an exploration of the primordial question “who am I?”, utilizing various yogic modalities, such as pranayama, jnana yoga, yoga nidra, and mantra.
Tom is a truly special and inspiring human being. An Iraq war veteran, author of the powerful memoir Where War Ends, and a direct disciple of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, he has devoted his life to spreading the teachings of yoga and meditation that have served him so well in his own life, to veterans suffering from PTSD and Moral Injury, and to the community at large.

This Sunday!!!

Yoga on State will have the honor and blessing to host Venu Syama, “Amma”, on Sunday, September 4th. Amma will facilitate a Siri Joti puja beginning at 3pm.

Siri Joti means “Wealth of Light”. Wherever this community ritual is performed, wealth, health, and abundance come in. Healing energy is amplified during this ceremony, benefitting the participants, their families, the land/space, and the surrounding community. Together we will create a visual manifestation of the Goddess in the form of a Sri Yantra, which will be worshiped with flowers and mantra.

Registration is available at https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws?studioid=791618&stype=-7&sTG=37&sView=day&sLoc=0&date=09/04/22

Please feel free to bring flowers to contribute to the puja.

Visit www.YogaonState.com for more!

Excerpt from Raghunath’s bio…

“In 1991 I received the name Raghunath (formally Ray Cappo), representing initiation into lineage and a rebirth. I travelled to ashrams all over the world and the holy places of India, and I simply fell in love with the rich spiritual culture. I remained a monk in an ashram for six and a half years and now, many years later, teach how to incorporate everything I learned into everyday life. Basically how to get the spiritual high without leaving the world behind (or in some cases leaving it). Guess what? This stuff works whether you’re a householder or a monk.”

Join us for our First "Yoga on State Movie Night!!!”
On April 1st we are hosting a special screening of Ram Dass’s “Becoming Nobody”. Every Movie night we'lll be raising Funds for a different cause, with our first showing going towards the conflicts in the Ukraine. All are welcomed, bring your friends and family. Dress comfortably and bring any bolsters, pillows, or blankets you’d like. Space is limited so sign up ahead time to reserve your spot! It’s $5 dollars to join, with popcorn and snacks for sale! Let's come together for a special evening watching a moving film while supporting the efforts in helping those less fortunate in the Ukraine.

About the movie…

Ram Dass “Becoming Nobody”

Becoming Nobody is the quintessential portal to Ram Dass’ life and teachings.

His ability to entertain and his sense of humor are abundantly evident in a conversation that brings us around to address the vast question of ultimate freedom.

Becoming Nobody represents the core arc of Ram Dass’ teachings and life: whether as Dr. Richard Alpert, the eminent Harvard psychologist, or as Ram Dass who serves as a bridge between Eastern and Western philosophies, he has defined a generation of inner explorers and seekers of truth and wisdom. Through his turns as scion of an eminent Jewish family from Boston, rock-star Harvard psychologist, counter-culture rascally adventurer, Eastern holy man, stroke survivor and compassionate caregiver, Ram Dass has worn many hats on his journey, the narrative of which is revealed in this film.

In Becoming Nobody, historic clips balance an engaging conversation with director Jamie Catto. We come to understand how our old roles and disguises become increasingly burdensome. The film captures a loving man full of joy, wit, honesty and wisdom, at ease in conversation while sharing his considerable pains and pleasures. The life experiences that have freed him from the attachments of his ‘somebody-ness’ have transformed him into the radiant soul who now inspires a new generation.

We are so excited to be offering this special workshop with !!!
