Praise for the Level 2 Sanskrit Chant Class:
"In the Level 2 Sanskrit class I learned to "bring my body with me" as I played these chants on the harmonium. This experience opened new dimensions to my chanting practice. The classics "Invocation" and "Om Sri Matre" still send chills down my spine when I practice at home. KLI's teaching method is well planned, professionally presented and "low stress" on a truly user-friendly online platform. The handouts, videos and live zoom group work left me encouraged to practice, motivated to chant regularly at home, and confident to present a kirtan event at a nearby yoga studio. Thank you!"
- Marinda Stopforth, Yoga Instructor
"The Level 2 Sanskrit Class introduced me to 7 beautiful chants which I deeply enjoy playing and chanting at home, and with my community. The online learning platform was a huge support, providing all the materials I needed to play each of the chants. This class helped me build a wonderful repertoire of Sanskrit/Bhakti chants that continue to enrich my life."
- Ann Jacobson, Librarian
"Mike sets you up for success. You don't have to read music! The chords are written out in their note names with suggestions for easiest transitions between the chords. Mike is kind, and creates a safe space to feel vulnerable while learning something new. He is very responsive with questions and comments through email. His love for Bhakti Yoga shines through each class. The other KLI teachers (Dawnia & Michele) are wonderful as well!”
