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 and videos were so helpful and continue to be an invaluable tool!--
