Toning 101

Toning is simply creating long, repetitive, vocal sounds to experience sound and vibration in the body. It’s a simple but powerful meditative tool that allows vibration to “massage” the body from the inside out.

It reduces stress, slows brainwave activity, relieves tension and promotes relaxation. (It also promotes deep listening and strengthens your voice-ear connection.)

NOTE: This is promoted in several places, so the RSVP count here is not indicative of the actual number of attendees. This is a free meetup. Donations accepted to cover studio rental.

What we'll do: We’ll start with some breathing exercises, warm up our voices, practice some basic toning techniques, then settle in to a period of continuous toning.

What to bring: Feel free to bring a cushion, pillow or blanket to sit on. There are also a few blankets/blocks at the studio (as well as regular chairs.) You can also tone while reclining.

This is something anyone can do… no singing expertise required.

You’ll be surprised by the changes in your state of mind and body!
