What an online hour with us looks like
a typical session
A walk-through of how we usually weave Gauranga Breathing, kirtan, and a brief closing into one welcoming hour.
The first ten minutes
The room opens promptly on time, and we begin right away. Students can simply get comfortable and join right in. If you’re late, don’t worry – you’ll be admitted whatever the time.
Gauranga Breathing, about 10 minutes
We introduce the breathing practice, which is slow and easy. Gauranga Breathing brings our attention back to the breath and – more importantly – the sound.
Kirtan, about 40 minutes
The music begins. The kirtan leader sings a mantra. Students hear, and then respond. We’ll usually have three short kirtans. You’re invited to sing, hum, clap, or simply sit and listen. Nothing is required.
Closing, about 5-10 minutes
A brief moment of quiet, followed by a brief chat and farewells.
- The full session is about one hour
- You can join late or leave early
