West Coast Kirtan and Yoga Festival takes place in the breath-taking 450-acre Joshua Tree National Park & Retreat Center. Join Wah! with so many other great artists and teachers for this jam-packed devotional lift-off! Yoga classes all day, ceremonies, incredible upbeat devotional music on into the night- it's by far the closest thing to a sacred shamanic week you'll ever find in the yoga community. I feel an incredible coming together of people, energies and purpose at this festival; everyone helps each other and the result is community at its best. Blissful.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!



Amanda Ringnalda/Director of Events, The Chopra Center for Wellbeing
Wah! is a magical musician whose light shines internally and externally. Her concerts invite you to experience self-awakened bliss. www.chopra.com

Phil Goldberg/ author, American Veda
One of the most successful kirtan artists, Wah! was asked if anything is lost when traditional chants are mixed with Western melodies and rhythms. She replied, 'the mantras are incorruptible.' www.americanveda.com

Janet Attwood/ author, The Passion Test
I remember walking through the streets of Rishikesh and hearing Wah's voice and wondering who is THAT? There is so much love and clarity coming through this voice. What a great pleasure to have you on our show "Dialogues with the Masters." 7/16/09
www.janetattwood.com

Elena Paige/Anusara Yoga Teacher, New York City
Wah! is one of the brightest lights in our community - not only does she lead an amazing kirtan, she gives talks that rock! And she just came out with a wonderful new book. It is always an honor to have her. 8/4/07
www.virayoga.com

Andrea Sykes/Filmmaker, Chicago, IL   Wah!'s music is a conduit of the divine... a breath of life and love that transforms the heart and soothes the spirit. 10/1/07

Anita Doyle/Transformative Counselor What I wasn't necessarily expecting was what a fine teacher Wah! is. She is authentic, nothing extraneous, and right to the point -- her message is Love, pure and simple. 7/31/07 www.integralbeing.org

Jordan Kirk, Anusara Teacher Training/Phoenix, AZ
It is rare to find someone with both earthly accomplishments and spiritual understanding. You see skilled musicians who are technically excellent but without a spiritual bone in their body. And on the other side is a person who is total bhakti – immersed in the path of devotion and love – but without enough technique to actually pull it off. It is really rare to have someone with both qualities. WAH! is one of those rare people. An absolutely extraordinary musician. 3/1/03
www.yogavillage.net

Bennett Freed, manager Earth, Wind & Fire Sexiest voice I've ever heard. 5/15/04

Cameron Steele, KKNW Contact Radio/Seattle, WA Creatively, you've certainly tapped into a source that brings out the essence of life, about living and being real with each other. 1/20/03
www.contactradio.info

Kim Smithgall, The Saratoga Post/Saratoga Springs, NY Hypnotic, mesmerizing and energizing - just a few adjectives that could be used to describe a recent performance by Wah!.... The English-language songs were as well-received as the Sanskrit chants. The success stems from Wah!'s extraordinary voice, which might be characterized as Jewel meets Sade....12/5/02

Best Alternative Female Artists/ audiovenus.comSheryl Crow, Tori Amos, Sarah McLaughlin, WAH!... 11/30/02

Ellis Widner, Arkansas Democratic Gazette/ Little Rock, AR   The clues to understanding WAH! can be found in her music (consciousness-building, connection to the Divine) and in her voice (haunting, heartfelt longing, passionate). It is something hidden in Wah! herself. 6/2/02


Erik Sloan, author Yosemite Big Walls/Yosemite Valley, CA   Thanks for the wonderful evening in Tucson. Just as predicted, my car tires have stayed plumply happy, my teeth glisten yet brighter, and even the unremitting phone solicitors have stopped calling since chanting with you. Bliss...

Blossoming into Winter/New York, NY with Elena Brower & Amy Ippolitti   WAH! you rocked the house at our event - thank you so much for being there and being you. Many people said Wah! was their favorite part. It totally made the day. 11/26/01

Sudhir Jonathan Foust, President Kripalu Center/ Lenox, MA   Her voice is beautiful, but that isn't what draws me. It's her presence behind it which is so powerful. 10/27/01

Yogaversity/Ojai, CA WAH! is a beautiful, high energy woman. Her music vibrates with deep, healing sounds, her voice is sensual and innocent, strong and sensitive - an invocation and confirmation all in one. Wah! is the most talked about sensation in New World Music. 2/11/01

Mike Savage, DJ @ Y107 Rock/Los Angeles
(in response to WAH! opening for Hole) Actually, I came to The Viper Room expecting to see Love & Rockets open for HOLE. What did you say the name of your band was? 1/9/99

Winnie, Sloan Entertainment/ Los Angeles   I remember your music from Edward Norton’s birthday party. Your music is wonderful. 1/9/99

Ed McCurdy, Executive Producer, VTV Television/ Vancouver 
   Hey, you guys were all right. We'll have you back on the show anytime! Call us when you want to promote your next Sacred Rave. 1/14/99

Lorre Brewer, former management to Frank Sinatra, Don Ho, George Schlatter  Wah! is a trendsetter. You just watch her… Current stars may imitate her, but WAH! is the real thing. The spiritual pop image is hers to glorify… Definitely superstar material. 10/8/98

Samara, Minister, Agape Church/Los Angeles Wah! could be giving directions to Long Beach via the 405, and I would still be healed. Girl, your voice is liquid heaven. 12/31/97
