To get a feel for it, watch this video of a recent performance at Asheville's AyurPrana Listening Room. 



Seán Johnson & The Wild Lotus Band

Seán Johnson & The Wild Lotus Band (Alvin Young, Gwendolyn Colman & Narada Wise) merge conscious lyrics, sacred chants from the spiritual traditions of yoga and beyond, and roots, rock, gospel, and global grooves to create a universal style of cross-cultural spiritual music. They are known for creating interactive, soul-stirring songs to dance and sing along with as well as to grieve and heal. With 100k+ monthly listeners on Spotify, their music has appeared on several Putumayo World Music albums, and they are the first mantra music band to play The New Orleans Jazz Festival. Their latest album Mystery was named one of the best albums in Louisiana music by Offbeat Magazine.

"The much-beloved band evoke, conjure and celebrate that universally felt yet impossible-to-define essence that lies at the heart of all things, what Bob Marley once called “a natural mystic, flowing through the air.” Alan DiPerna (Rolling Stone) 

Seán is also a respected yoga teacher and community leader who teaches at festivals and conferences around the country. 

He is the director of The Asheville Yoga Center and curator of AYC's "Teaching From The Heart" 200-Hour Teacher Training and "Kindling The Flame" 300-Hour Program.

Seán is also the founder of Wild Lotus Yoga in his beloved hometown dubbed "New Orleans' Home for Heart-Centered Yoga," and Soul School, an interdisciplinary yoga teacher training program that focuses on teaching yoga with skill, heart, and imagination. He has a Master’s degree from The Naropa Institute-Oakland with a focus on teaching chant as a spiritual practice, apprenticing there with south Indian musician and teacher Russill Paul, author of The Yoga Of Sound. 

Seán is the co-curator and coordinator of Putumayo World Music’s yoga music series and a co-founder of The Auricle Collective - a global community of chant and spiritual musicians. Seán is passionate about his Irish roots and ancestry, a pillar of his spirituality. He co-leads online Celtic Spirituality gatherings and retreats in Ireland each year with his friend, Ireland native Mary Meighan, founder of Celtic Journeys.

In all these roles, Seán relishes creating a playful, tender, brave space for people to open their hearts and voices, and embrace their innate creativity.
