Kirtan & Yoga Wisdom at The Yoga Lounge

Step away from the city's hustle and dive into a meditative evening at The Yoga Lounge on Sherbourne Street. Back by popular demand, this special gathering features Vaish, a modern-day monk with over four and a half decades of yogic practice, offering insights rooted in the timeless teachings of bhakti-yoga.

What to Expect The evening centres around interactive musical mantra meditation, commonly known as kirtan. Participants will engage in call-and-response meditation using ancient Eastern mantras and traditional instruments, guided by members of the Kirtan Culture Initiative who have shared their practice across Toronto for nearly 15 years. No prior experience with chanting or meditation is necessary; just bring an open mind and your voice.

Practical Details The event runs from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM at The Yoga Lounge (80 Sherbourne St), located just south of Bloor in downtown Toronto. It’s an accessible space ideal for unwinding midweek. Afterward, grab a bite nearby in the Church-Wellesley Village or Cabbagetown neighbourhoods to cap off a peaceful evening.
