Kirtan with Oxana Weber
Chanting is a great way to release stress and tension.
Many people fi nd it challenging to sit and meditate but the
combination of sound, breath and rhythm in Kirtan helps to
bring about a feeling of joy and inner peace. The vibrations of
each chant move through the body and help to stimulate the
hormones that calm the mind and relax the body.
The mantras in Kirtan are chanted in a call-and-response
