Global Mala Slideshow
and Machu Picchu and Costa Rica Retreats

Global Mala Chant Concert Sat Kartar’s live kirtan/chant music was an East/West infusion of her heart and dynamic spirit, ranging from beautiful ethereal devotional chants, to upbeat mantra tunes, songs and stories. In honor of the Global Mala project (www.gobalmala.org), she will lead some 108 mala recitations of chants.

The slideshow also features photos from the Machu Picchu Radical Sabbatical Retreat in Jun, 2007 and the Costa Rica Retreat from Feb, 2007.

Testimonials

How Yoga can change your life:

"I am so grateful to you for your classes, you are a very kind and gentle teacher. I am so lucky to have found your classes." JH, Annapolis

"Last night's half hour gong meditation was mind blowing. I have no idea where I disappeared before the high gong snapped me back into my body! Endless gratitude for holding the door open to this world wide open!" MH, Annapolis

"What you said a few weeks ago about opening to the experience and that the love shared doesn't have to be the end of all really rings strong with me. BUT, living this truth is so difficult and I realize that it is fear based. Thank you for the beautiful meditation last night." LW, Annapolis

"Thank you for your wonderful advise and knowledge about my situation, I am much happier and thanks to you things are moving and clearing!" C. Greenbelt

"I am amazed at how good I feel after class this morning, even with a lot of seemingly unfavorable circumstances that could have sent my day into a downward spiral. I am inspired by your kindness and love to your students and to yourself." EK, Annapolis

"It is my opinion that no one, I have met, to date conducts such a wonderful mix of yoga practice that encompasses the stretching, practical work out for each muscle and internal organ in addition to the spirituality conveyed by you and certainly felt by this student. It is my privilege."DV, Annapolis

"Your classes are nurturing me through an intense time of personal healing. I cannot thank you enough for the strength and energy with which I am infused after each beautiful experience in class. Having found Kundalini yoga is an amazing blessing." M.

From Costa Rica,The Samasati Explore Retreat:

"Thank you for inspiring, planning and organizing this wonderful trip that goes on my list of great experiences. Words are too inadequate to describe how I feel, but you know you are in my heart with lots of love and gratitude."

"Well planned and presented, thank you Denise, you are a loving being and I appreciate your integrity and devotion to yoga."

"I enjoyed this whole week immensely. It was a particular pleasure to practice with you, you have a lovely spirit and are a beautiful person both inside and out. Loved the chants and especially the gong."

"I enjoyed being introduced to Kundalini Yoga...a wonderful teacher, so much enthusiasm, love and energy. Your openness and sharing contributed so much."

"Thanks for a truly wonderful week, the planning, efforts and energy were so apparent. Way beyond anyone's expectations. It was a truly magical experience, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate all that you did to make it so."

"The peacefulness and serentiy of the area lent itself to a wonderful experience of nature and yoga mix. Lucy and the staff could not have done more to ensure our satisfaction. I would sign up again in a heartbeat, highly recommend it to others. In fact, trying to think how I can get some of my friends/sisters into yoga. Group size was perfect and for the bonds created. And, without a doubt Denise, you are knowledgeable and comfortable in the various schools of yoga. The Kundalini was quite an eye opening experience."

"Couldn't have asked for more, blown away by the partnering exercise and the trust it engendered."

"Your presence and intentionality brought together such an interesting and loving group of people. It was wonderful getting to experience being around so many light-filled people and in such a nurturing and restoring environment."

"I really enjoyed my week on the retreat. Yes, the cost was equitable and I would recommend it to others. This was the first "group" trip I ever took part in and because of the schedule, found I had to carve out free time for myself. This wasn't a problem, but sometimes I felt I was missing out on things I would have liked to take part in. Yet overall Denise, I am so grateful to have been part of this, grateful to you for orchestrating it and bringin magic and spice to our experience. Your retreat was a blessing. I left feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and inspired."

See you next year!
