Clair Oaks, musician, yoga instructor and mother, has been leading kirtan since 2001. She was taught techniques of meditation in 1976 when she met one of her greatest teachers who was instrumental in deepening her awareness of and connection to the sacred inner divine – what yoga calls, the Self. For many years, Clair has taught yoga classes as a way to facilitate students finding the Self within. In 1999, she fell in love with chanting and began leading kirtan in 2001. Her first CD was released in early 2006. Her second CD, in late summer 2007. Both were created specifically for use in bodywork sessions or quiet, meditative yoga/meditation practice. Her 3rd and 4th CD's reflect the chants and music that her band has been performing live for the last 3 years (coming soon) Clair also tours regularly as a singer with recording artist Wah! Clair's son Elijah is Wah!'s percussionist and often performs with Clair’s band as well. visit website for comments from Wah regarding Clair's musi
