KIRTAN
WALLAH
Kirtan Wallah, leading sweet call-and-response mantras that open the heart center. Chanting creates communal presence, connection, and devotion. We sing in the key of “we.”
& YOGA
TEACHER
Asana Yoga Teacher for 20+ years, weaving breath, movement, and mantra into every practice. Studied with T.K.V. Desikachar, Mark Whitwell, and Jasmine Tarkeshi.
Kirtan with Astrud immerses the mind in a sea of sacred sound and melts open the heart. Her voice, music and mantras embody a love and devotion that touches the deep places within where communion with the Divine is possible.
Swami Ramananda
I have known Astrud for decades. In all that time she has taught from her heart with skill and compassion that takes care of the individual needs of her students. Astrud has had a thorough Yoga education in the lineage of Krishnamacharya, our source scholar, the teacher of teachers, and is highly qualified to teach you Yoga in a way that is right for you. Please study with Astrud if that is your good fortune.
Mark Whitwell
Astrud's Kirtan is filled with a fiery passion that draws us uninhibitedly into the practice of Bhakti Yoga with love and a heart filled with feelings. As a student AND as a teacher Astrud never stops her explorations into the soul and path of devotion.
