In Bhakti and devotional singing, it’s not about how polished or “good” your voice sounds—what truly matters is your ability to tune into the sacred frequency of devotion.

Your voice holds the potential to be a powerful instrument of healing, connection, and love.

What our students say

  • ¨ Exactly what I needed ¨

    The Kirtan course with Pranaluz was exactly what I needed to remind myself of some yoga philosophy. I had been trying to get into Kirtan by myself, teaching myself harmonium which was proving difficult. The Kirtan course helped re start my mission to chant and learn harmonium and the lectures were so helpful and continue to be an invaluable tool!--

    Stephanie de Courcy-Hughes ( U.K.)

  • I was able to increase my confidence in understanding the meaning of mantras, singing, and playing the harmonium.New List Item

    Analu has created an incredible introductory course for learning how to lead kirtan. She honours the roots of Bhakti yoga and incorporates multiple ways of learning into the course design to reach students of different levels and backgrounds.

    Analu provides an engaging curriculum to learn the history and key elements of kirtan and harmonium. I was able to increase my confidence in understanding the meaning of mantras, singing, and playing the harmonium.

    Analu also provided 1:1 support which helped me feel like I was not on my own despite the distance and made the program more accessible. I would strongly recommend this course for any practitioner or teacher who would like a deeper understanding of Bhakti yoga or kirtan.

  • " There is a real authenticity that can truly be felt. "

    “I joined Analu’s online Bhakti Course and I am deeply grateful for the experience. I resonate strongly with the way she chants the mantras and the energy she brings. There is a real authenticity that can truly be felt. She puts so much care into the 1:1 session and shares a lot of valuable teachings. I feel inspired and will be weaving what I’ve learned into my own work.” - Paula
