Praise
"The Art of Kirtan Leadership was a deep nourishing and joyful experience full of wisdom and love. Amrita has a unique and special way to transfer her passion and knowledge to Harmonium and Singer Lovers. As she is able to lead Kirtan´s she leads Retreats in the same way. She feels the energy of the group and creates space for everything. If you want to dive deep into the world of Bhakti and connect with Mantras, Gods and Goddesses, your Breath, Voice, the Frequencies of an instrument and many tips and tricks, then you are making the right decision to connect with Amrita. Thank you so much for sharing your light Amrita. Jay Ma!!! Om Namah Shivaya!"

ABOUT AMRITA LIZA LILINTAHL
Even though she has been singing since she can remember, Amrita started chanting in London, where she llived for many years developing her yoga teaching. There she recorded her first album 'Expansion' while starting to share kirtans in yoga centers.
Soon after the completion of this album and the beggining of a life crisis, she was off to Bali to start a new life and there she decided to focus her time developing her devotional and spiritual practices, and throguh this process, her second album 'Into the light' was born', recorded and produced by Rob Webber music coordinator of Bali Spirit Festival.
Since then, Amrita has shared her songs in thousands of savasanas, singing circles, retreats, yoga teacher trainings, festivals and all sort of healing events in Bali, Singapore, Thailand, Australia, Japan, India, Sweden, Norway, Italy, Spain, Mexico, Guatemala, and USA.
She is now based in Mallorca where she continues to share her experience and approach to kirtan and bhakti yoga through live events and online classes
Amrita is also a certified 'Trauma release breathwork' practitioner, a tool that helped her inmensily in getting in touch with her intuition and power and she often includes tools of this modality in her kirtan circles.
