Pleasure and Power in Speaking and Singing - Tips and Techniques from East and West
You can sing and speak with power and delight! In this fun workshop, participants will experience greater vocal freedom and have tools to support speaking and singing with greater power, pleasure and ease. This affects every area of our lives, whether we aspire as yoga teachers, public speakers, or just want to be able to connect with each other and in our work lives with more joy, success and ease.
Bhakti Yoga - Opening to Emotion, Devotion, and Wholeness in Singing
Emotion is energy in motion. Allowing our emotions to flow easily is a way to stay healthy and connected to our center. When our emotions are not able to flow or be expressed because of fear or social constraints, often we feel tired or lack of creativity.
Mantra Practice and Pronunciation for Peace, Contentment, and the Greatest Good for All
Often we may find that our minds get busy with the tasks and issues of the day. Mantra are sacred words of power that are thousands of years old which easily help us to clear the mind, calm the body and release old patterns of fear and limitation that no longer are good for us.
Joy of Chanting: Open Heart and Open Voice Through the Joy of Chanting
Everything is vibration. Even our patterns, which create our realities, are just vibration in form. Stronger vibrations can transform weaker, or less true ones. Mantra are sacred syllables, words of power, with origins from 5000 years ago, that have specific results to bring freedom and peace and wholeness to body, mind and emotions.
The Two Wings of Singing: Letting the Voice Take Flight
Singing offers balance in our daily lives; integration and wholeness to our mind, body and emotions; and opens our hearts to experiencing Who we are.
