Daniel Stewart and Friends

Daniel Stewart is a beloved yoga teacher, co-owner of Rising Lotus Yoga in Sherman Oaks, and a holistic Mind/Body Psychotherapist in private practice in the LA area. Daniel is dedicated to the practice of being fully awake and alive in each moment, and he shares his love of music as a healing and transformational experience though the art and practice of Kirtan.
Daniel's Kirtan is a unique blend of rocking western soul and jazz style improvisation with authentic Sanskrit mantras. He is known for his joyful, ecstatic singing and for the dharma talks (about Self-realization and consciousness) that he weaves throughout. The numinous connection he feels singing is evident in the bhakti energy that grows in the room and the heart opening and Self-awakening often experienced by participants. He believes that together the musicians and the audience find union as they create an ecstatic experience of blissful music, deep meditation, and sweet, expansive consciousness.
To quote Daniel Stewart: “We meditate, we practice yoga, we sing in the shower, in the car, and in the yoga room, in order to quiet our minds and return to a joyful, feeling of oneness. We know in our hearts that our happiness isn't reliant on our name, our job, or the lists we need to finish. We can sense that our singing is a call to our soul; a reminder of our limitless connection to the internal and a celebration of the love that flows in all of us.”
“KIRTAN (call and response chanting) is a straight shot practice to this relaxed ego consciousness and deep alignment with our inner life and creative source. When we sing together we can open our hearts and literally realign our energy with the experience of transcendent consciousness, love and bliss”
