Value Your Voice: Musical Mastery Through Mantra, Mindfulness, & Movement

You’re the only one with your voice and it is accessible to you anywhere, everywhere and anytime! The ability to sing can feel mysterious and magical, yet it is our right as humans to use our voices with confidence and clarity. In the practice of yoga, sung mantra is one of the earliest & central components of the practice. For this workshop, you can expect to learn voice science strategies to support four foundational mantras: So Hum, Om, AUM, & Om shanti, shanti, shanti. Once empowered with this knowledge, the combined voice strategies & mantras will be incorporated into a guided practice including kriyas, pranayama, asana, mudra, & meditation that supports the voice while quieting the mind. Finally, the workshop will close with singing mantra in community and voluntarily as soloists to culminate the workshop learning. Knowing how to sing and use your voice can be one of the most rewarding skills to learn that will support you in your communities, companies, and beyond!
