WORKSHOP DETAILS
Curious about how you can reduce mind-wandering, cortisol (the primary stress hormone), blood pressure, breath rate, and elevate feelings of well-being — with nothing but your natural voice? As a meditative technique, vocal toning spontaneously induces altered states of consciousness, and can be harnessed additionally for cognitive, emotional, physical, and spiritual satisfaction and wellness.

In this introductory workshop, I will instruct participants 1) how to set an intention in sound therapy settings, 2) lead participants in group toning practices followed by a guided meditation so that these benefits can be experienced empirically for themselves, and 3) teach participants a solo practice of vocal toning that they can use whenever they would like... forever!
No previous vocal training or ability is required to benefit from these techniques!

WORKSHOP COST STRUCTURE
- $25 (supported fee)
- $30 (regular fee)

This sliding scale is based on what you feel you are able to contribute. (This is offered in good faith as I believe so many can benefit from this technique!).

WHAT TO BRING? It is recommended that participants bring a notebook and pen for note-taking (if you would like to continue this practice outside of the context of the workshop), as well as a water bottle to stay hydrated. All other materials are provided by the yoga studio (e.g.: regular chairs, meditation chairs, blankets, etc).
