Most of us can make sounds, speak, laugh, cry, sing… but do we ever use our voices to produce intentional sacred resonance? A musician and vibrational astronaut of over 20 years, Brian will lead us through various methods of sacred vocal exercises, tuning into our very own vibratory resonance through repetition of sacred tones and mantras.
In this workshop we will:
-Discuss a brief history of Nada Yog, the practice of Yoga through sound and vibration.
-Learn toning techniques to reduce stress, calm the mind, and revitalize our energy centers through specific seed sounds and mantras.
-Investigate the feelings and releases accompanied by these ancient practices in a safe space.
