Join Francesca and Friends for a community kirtan to celebration and honor the life and legacy of BKS Iyengar.
This community kirtan will bring us together for a holiday gathering with chanting and chai in celebration of the 100th anniversary of BKS Iyengar’s birthday!
We will gather at 7pm for a short opening and story telling with Anneke Faas followed by soulful kirtan and sacred chanting led by Francesca Nicosia.
This is a family event – feel free to bring your children. You are welcome to bring a small offering (fruit or sweets) for the altar.
Francesca Nicosia: harmonium, lead vocals
Doug Chermak: drums, percussion
Kenny Shea-Dinkin: guitar, response vocals

Suggested donation $10-20 cash at the door.
Proceeds will support the cost of putting on the event as well as a donation to the studio’s Yoga Blessing Fund that offers full and partial scholarships to make classes and workshops accessible to students who are experiencing financial hardship.
