Falling in Love… A Kirtan

with Angela Cays

Pre-register here: 





Chanting mantra is a beautiful way to connect with the experience of Falling in love… finding your bliss, shining your light, and sharing your love. Join us to co-create this energy and experience chanting the names and sacred sounds of the Divine as a reminder and embodiment of what is around and flows through each and every one of us.

When we allow ourselves to be fully present, we open our hearts and minds to notice the moments when other beings come alive and appreciate their light, gifts, beauty and talent. We fall in love and find moments of bliss.

We can also fall in love with ourselves enough to affirm our own light in a way that allows us to be generous in giving our gifts in this lifetime, our compassion and kindness to each other.

When we find our bliss in the energy of love and light, we can find gratitude for all the gifts and the challenges, the light and shadow, that shapes us into the resilient, compassionate, extraordinary beings we all are evolving into in each moment.

Let’s keep expanding our practice and capacity to shine our light and share our love in the world.

“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.”
- lyric from Nat King Cole song, Nature Boy

About Angela: Angela Cays has been working towards transforming suffering and empowering others for decades as a high school math teacher and tutor; licensed professional counselor (LPC) with adults, teens, groups and couples; and as a yoga instructor since the fall of 2006. She guides her students to reveal light and shadow, to become more fully embodied and aware of all layers of our being (koshas); to awaken intuition, life force energy (prana), and touch moments of deep peace as well as great expansion. Her continued education as a counselor and yoga instructor led her deeper into the subtle body through learning modules in her advanced yoga teacher training with Sheryl and Neil Edsall at Naturally Yoga in Glen Rock, NJ and trainings at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, MA on Psychotherapy and Spirituality, as well as Psychology of the Chakras, Mind Body Integration, and Creating on Purpose with Anodea Judith. Having a spark of curiosity about Reiki when she first started taking yoga classes, it was about 20 years later, as a continuation of studying and working with the subtle body, she received her Level I, Level II and Reiki Master training and attunements from her beloved teacher, Sheryl Edsall, along with the radiant Eileen Alexander. Angela benefits deeply from practicing Reiki for self-care in addition to sharing this healing modality with others. Through many years of studying and teaching yoga, and receiving the Reiki attunements, she continues to develop a more heightened awareness of subtle body energy. She feels honored to hold a sacred space for healing and growth through the universal energy of Reiki, as well as her group yoga classes, workshops and kirtans, private yoga, and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) Tapping sessions.

In grief & gratitude: Honoring Thich Nhat Hanh's life & legacy


Here is a dharma talk I shared in yoga class last week honoring Thich Nhat Hanh’s life and legacy, including the teaching of No Coming, No Going; singing, chanting, mudras; and a couple readings from Thich Nhat Hanh.



I am so thankful for encountering Thay in this lifetime and being able to receive and share his teachings with others in local sangha, currently Practice Community at Franklin Lakes: Meditation Group, and on retreats and Days of Mindfulness with the larger sangha many years ago at Stone Hill College among others, and in my yoga classes. 

When the practice becomes part of you, it’s like breathing - a very natural part of you, and like oxygen - necessary to live and thrive. You can find Thay's dharma talks and receive his energy in videos on YouTube Plum Village channelPlum Village also has a free meditation app available and Facebook page: Plum Village


 (at Blue Cliff Monastery, Pine Bush, NY)


I am blessed to share the practice in my weekly yoga classes at
Naturally Yoga in Glen Rock, NJ on Wednesdays at 9:30am and at
Highland Yoga Studio Kinnelon, NJ on Tues. at 9am & Sat. at 9:45am.
All are offered with in studio and online zoom options.

All Love and Light Surrounds You and Shines through you

I'm so excited to announce my next Kirtan.....


Sunday, September 30, 2-4pm 
Highland Yoga, Butler, NJ 

Come out for an afternoon of chanting mantra, bathing in the vibration of sacred sound and the shared energy of our amazing community, raising our vibration to be reminded that all Love and Light surrounds you and shines through you. 



You are always held by Love and Light and you always have the choice to project your Love and Light. We may not always remember or feel that this is true. But the more we practice opening up to this energy within and around us by deeply looking at each other, nature, ourselves and using practices like mantra, mudra (hand positions), asana (physical postures), and reading or listening to dharma (the deep teachings); the more we can surrender to this truth and live from it and into it more often. 


“In every breath you take, Love is always here.” -Matt Kahn
