Yoga Vacation ProgramJuly 28 — 31, 2027
Kirtan of the Awakened Heart
Jordan Loder and Mirabai Moon
Within the restorative embrace of the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Retreat Bahamas, Jordan Loder and Mirabai Moon offer a sacred space for both ecstatic expression and profound stillness through kirtan.
Compassionate invocations gently open the heart. Rhythmic waves of call-and-response chanting uplift and unify. Tender moments of silence invite you to rest in your own essence — where separation dissolves and the ever-present Self is revealed.
Jordan brings a grounded, unpretentious presence shaped by years of touring alongside respected kirtan leaders and deep study of the direct path of Ramana Maharshi. His humility, warmth, and light humor create an atmosphere where devotion feels natural and accessible.
Mirabai weaves a rich tapestry of tone and sacred sound as pathways to transformation. Her intuitive approach fosters a welcoming, heartfelt space where beginners and seasoned chanters alike participate as equals in genuine community renewal.
This immersive experience beautifully complements the ashram’s classical teachings of asana, pranayama, meditation, and karma yoga. Through vibrational harmony and sacred chant, mental chatter softens, compassion deepens, and inner peace becomes tangible.
Benefits of attending:
- Experience uplifted energy, clarity, and emotional release
- Feel a deep sense of unity and belonging in sacred community
- Cultivate devotional practices you can carry into daily life
Participants leave lighter, more connected, and attuned to the sacred rhythm within — ready to integrate the awakened heart into every aspect of life.
Offered as 3 satsangs and 3 workshops (subject to change).

Jordan Loder is an international kirtan artist whose devotional chanting flows from raw vulnerability and heartfelt presence. Influenced deeply by Ramana Maharshi’s teachings—first felt in youth and later deepened through pilgrimage and extended residence near Arunachala—Jordan weaves ancient Hindu and Buddhist mantras centered on forgiveness, gratitude, and compassion.
Jordan’s concerts and retreats have graced stages worldwide, from festivals to yoga studios, fostering community through call-and-response chanting rooted in timeless bhakti traditions—expressed in a contemporary way that is all his own.
His approach is refreshing in its depth and sincerity: profound without pretense, free of spiritual titles or proclaimed powers, carried instead with quiet humility, gentle humor, and an effortless lightness of being. Everything is sacred, with no exceptions—his gatherings offer spaces for emotional release, deep laughter, and profound stillness, inviting all to rest in the ever-present Self.
He draws from extensive immersion in the global Kirtan community having toured with beloved artists like Snatam Kaur, Deva Premal & Miten, GuruGanesha, Simrit, Ajeet, The Landis Brothers, Hans Christian, Stephen Bross, Matt Pszonak, and Adam Bauer.
A soulful, beautiful transmission of the Divine…Mystical Kirtan with Mirabai Moon offers a passionate embrace of the Divine Essence right here, right now… in your embodied human form, just as you are.
Singer/songwriter Mirabai Moon’s immensely versatile and powerfully expressive voice is most frequently compared to that of folk icons Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, and Ani DiFranco. Her music takes listeners on a journey, flowing effortlessly from ethereal dreaminess to soulful blues and jazz.
She honed her craft studying vocal improvisation with jazz legend Bobby McFerrin and Rhiannon of Voicestra. After nearly two decades of songwriting and three original albums, she fell in love with the practice of Kirtan. In 2010, Mirabai devoted herself as a Bhakta, singing sacred chants in Sanskrit, sharing her profound love of the Divine with others through call and response devotional chanting.
Mirabai’s life changing experiences with kirtan and mantra practice led her to explore other sound healing modalities. She now uses crystal singing bowls, chimes and other vibratory instruments with groups and individual clients for healing and transformation work. Mirabai tours across North America and internationally, sharing chant music and sound healing in yoga studios, healing centers, and festivals. Her offerings guide participants into experiences of profound healing and unconditional love through Bhakti Yoga practices.
