Join us for Pie in the Sky Kirtan with Ananda Murari Das - tomorrow night!

Join us for a special evening of kirtan with Ananda Murari das — songwriter, former monk, and devotional artist known for his deeply moving, heart-centered music.

Through soulful melodies and sacred mantra, Ananda Murari weaves together stories of devotion, vulnerability, and the beauty of faith. His grounded presence and luminous voice create a space for both reflection and release — where the heart opens and the spirit feels free to sing.

This evening gathering is part of our Kirtan Immersion Weekend, but is also open to the public as a standalone event. Whether you’re new to chanting or an experienced practitioner, come as you are and let the power of sacred sound carry you inward.

Join us every Thursday evening at 6:45 PM for our Satsang, Philosophy night at Bhakti Yoga DC!

About Satsang ✨
Sat means truth in Sanskrit, and sanga means to come together. Satsang is our weekly gathering to discuss spiritual truths, based on Divinity, the Self and how to integrate greater conscious values into one’s everyday life.

Every Thursday at 6:45 p.m. we will have an open discussion on the philosophy of yoga, combining Sanskrit mantra recitation with ancient scriptural teachings. Allow the wisdom of the yogis and sages from the past to come alive and be made accessible to you, the urban seeker, explorer and practitioner.

🌎 There will be a free vegan meal (please feel free to bring anything vegan to share 🙏🏽), live music, and plenty of opportunity for questions & answers.

All are welcome.💛 Please consider a donation of any size—your generosity allows us to offer these talks and prepared food freely.

Visit bhaktiyogadc.com to register, and to learn more about our upcoming offerings or simply ask one of our studio community members if you have any questions or need support 🙏🏾

Hope to see you there! 💛

He'll be with the Pie in the Sky crew for our November community kirtan evening, Saturday, November 22 at 7 pm - and if you want to spend more time learning from him about making mantra music, you can enroll in his 3-day immersion workshop starting Friday, November 21.

A few words expressing our mission & wider commitment below ⬇

Our Mission : ✨🌟
Bhakti Yoga DC serves to empower individuals with conscious lifestyle practices that transform mind, body and heart. We provide our students an empowering spiritual experience and holistic health care/coaching through dynamic healing yoga, mantra, meditation, kirtan and philosophy delivered within an authentic spiritual community that serves to build deep and loving relationships.

Our Wider Commitment: 🌍
Bhakti Yoga DC is committed to creating a space rooted in dignity, inclusion, and reverence—for our students, our neighbors, and the sacred lineages of yoga itself.
Our building once served as a homeless women’s shelter, and we continue that legacy of service by working closely with individuals experiencing housing insecurity in our local community.

We also recognize that we teach and gather on the ancestral lands of the Nacotchtank (Anacostan) and Piscataway peoples, and that this city is shaped by histories of displacement and forced labor. Rather than offering a decontextualized or commodified version of yoga, we aim to honor its cultural origins and share it in a spirit of devotion and integrity.

Curious about learning the art of Kirtan? Learn the foundations in just a few weeks at Bhakti Yoga DC with Ananda Murari das 🎶🎵🎼🎸🎹

Drawing from his years in monastic life and his evolution as a father and musician, Ananda Murari's offerings explore the tension between seeking and surrender, the heart’s struggles, and the beauty of faith through song. His grounded presence and intimate storytelling invite deep connection, inner stillness, and joyful expression through chanting.

Whether you're new to kirtan or a longtime practitioner, this immersive weekend is an opportunity to awaken your voice, soften your heart, and reconnect with what matters most.

All are welcome. No musical experience necessary.

Come Rest & Restore this Winter Season ❄️

Join us for Deep Rest, an in-person restorative workshop at Bhakti Yoga DC in Washington DC, hosted by Path Wellbeing Founder Kirsten Ahern. This workshop blends nourishing and supportive postures with marma therapy (energetic vital point therapy) and aromatherapy to achieve a state of deep release and renewal. At the entrance to Vata Season, when erratic and busy energy can lead to excess stress and activity, intentional rest provides much needed equilibrium to the nervous system, the mind and the body.

Energetic alignment through marma point activation and guided marma nidra (a practice of yoga nidra through the marma points) promotes physiological equilibrium, cellular renewal & deep healing. Includes a customized aromatherapy massage oil to take home, an Ayurvedic adaptogenic snack, and a free marma point guide.
