👣 YOUR GUIDES ON THE PATH
🌸 Nathalie Kanta
Hatha Yoga therapist and teacher trained in India, specializing in gentle guidance for spiritual transformations.
🎶 Mahadev
Mahadev OK is a Bhakti artist and Hatha and Kundalini Yoga teacher, born and based in France.
After studying architecture, coming from a family of religious figures, artists and mystics, and a youth dedicated to a career as a singer-musician, Mahadev traveled to Europe, India, the USA and Australia. He discovered yoga during a retreat at Plum Village alongside the Buddhist monk Thich Nhatt Han. From then on, tracing his path in ashrams and notably with the Sivananda organization, he devoted himself to bhakti, singing and studied mantras and tantric practices related to Shree Chakra, Pratyanguira as well as esoteric Numerology. In India, he learned rituals, pujas, then discovered the devotion of Sikhism through Kundalini Yoga. Today, Mahadev devotes himself to teaching mantras, philosophy and the practice of yoga and gives concerts, kirtans and private or group yoga classes. He founded the Spirit Pop Community in 2016 and, in 2023, with his wife Nathalie Kanta, opened the Chantalame Ashram in the Jura region, a space open to yoga, music, and healing practices.
Trained in yoga and meditation techniques in India and Europe, Mahadev combines the experience of Tantra with music to offer a unique source of healing and happiness. During his Kirtan concerts, we sing, dance, and let go to achieve trance and joy, rediscovering a sense of harmony, rhythm, and true presence so important in our volatile times. A Mantra Yogi, poet, and spiritual writer, Mahadev publishes albums of mantras and bhajans, books, and articles on the practice of yoga, chanting, and meditation. We are one. This is the central message of yoga. The devotional path is a wonderful way to accept, practice, and realize it.
