More Kirtan!!! We are so excited that Dave has decided to make SoniYoga a regular stop on his schedule. Come and share the joy of Kirtan.


Dave Russell & Friends:
Dave Russell heard and tried chanting for the first time when Swami Satchidananda opened the Woodstock music festival in 1969. By 1972, Dave led his first kirtans for Satchidananda’s Integral Yoga Institute. He leads ecstatic chanting for yoga studios and retreats, personal growth workshops, health resorts, festivals, and weddings in New England and nationally. He invites us to sing and easily experience the joy of the energizing and healing vibrations of chanting. All voices are perfect for kirtan.
