Snatam Kaur is one of the best-known voices of contemporary kirtan and has shared her music for more than two decades. Yoga Spirit magazine interviewed her when she came to the Barcelona Yoga Conference to present her album Heartflow.
Singing together
For her, group chanting is deeply healing. What inspires her most is singing with other people. She practises yoga and breathwork before singing so the mantras resonate more deeply, and at concerts she invites people to move and dance.
Roots and service
Her music is rooted in kundalini yoga. Seva, selfless service, is central to her path.
Peace and responsibility
She believes mantras help bring the mind back into balance, which supports responsible action towards society and the Earth.
Heartflow
The album was born from a painful period related to her former spiritual teacher. Chanting helped her find her centre again. Her message: move towards light, awareness and courage, in small steps.
