Take this journey and immerse yourself in the ancient and sacred teachings of Nada Yoga—the yogic science of sound, vibration, and conscious resonance. Rooted in the 5,000-year-old metaphysical traditions of India, Nada Yoga explores the vibratory fabric of the universe and the hidden pathways through which sound connects us to the cosmos, the subtle body, and our own inner truth. Based on the understanding that all of creation is in constant motion and sound—Nada Brahma, the world is sound—this practice reveals how everything that exists is interconnected through vibration. In Sanskrit, “Nada” means sound, but also flow, movement, and the dynamic process of consciousness itself.

At the heart of this training is a deep exploration of Nada Yoga philosophy, lifestyle, and ethics. Students will study the cosmological principles of duality and non-duality, foundational philosophies including Tantra, Vedanta, and Yoga, and the origins and various types of Nada Yoga. We will explore how vibration travels through the nadis and chakras, and how the practice of sound affects our energy system. This includes working with Anahata (unstruck sound) and Ahata (struck sound), understanding the therapeutic benefits of music therapy and sound healing, and learning the science behind how sound shifts consciousness. The course also covers the ethics and boundaries of teaching Nada Yoga, with an emphasis on respectful communication, safe holding of space, and professional practice, including personal mentorship and guidance in working one-on-one, along with support in setting up your own yoga or healing business.

An essential aspect of this training includes in-depth study of anatomy and physiology, with a special focus on the human voice. You’ll explore how the nervous system responds to sound, particularly through the vagus nerve, and how Nada Yoga supports regulation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. We will also study the respiratory system, the dynamics of breath, and the physical benefits of vocal practices, chanting, and sound meditation.

The practical training and methodology segment will guide you through the foundational tools to teach Nada Yoga effectively. You'll engage with daily mantra chanting, learn proper voice techniques for tone, breath, pitch, and resonance, and experience the power of Sanskrit sound and Bhakti practices, such as live Bhajan sessions, the Arati ritual (light purification), and the Gong Fu tea ceremony. You'll also study the origin, structure, and use of mantras, including how they relate to the chakras and energetic healing. These sessions offer profound opportunities for inner alignment, devotional expression, and embodied transformation.
 

A powerful tool within this training is the study and application of singing bowls and sound healing. You’ll explore the history of Tibetan and crystal bowls, how to distinguish types, and the difference between older and newer or high and low-quality bowls. Through practical workshops, you’ll learn playing techniques, how to select your instruments, clean and maintain your tools and sacred space, and how to use the bowls in chakra balancing, mantra practice, and soundbath facilitation. These tools will help you guide others into deep states of meditation, stillness, and vibrational healing.

Daily pranayama and meditation practices will be woven throughout the training. You will learn breathwork techniques specifically tailored to support Nada Yoga, including visualization, relaxation, pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses), and dharana (concentration). You'll understand how to integrate sound healing into Shavasana, Yoga Nidra, and sound meditations with Tibetan and crystal bowls, enhancing your students’ experience of inner silence and vibratory awareness.

A unique feature of this training is the integration of YogaDance and Voice Movement. Here, we combine the power of conscious movement, contemporary dance, and asana to explore embodied expression through the cosmic elements. You'll learn to access movement and sound through the chakras, unlock intuitive improvisation, and participate in sacred dance rituals. This expressive component allows for deep emotional release, connection to creative flow, and alignment with one's inner rhythm. Vocal movement integration brings the voice into full-body expression, teaching you how to use your voice not just for instruction but as a healing instrument. A strong focus on teaching methodology ensures you gain the tools needed to guide others safely through YogaDance and vocal journeys.

The training also includes an enriching segment on Partner Work and Contact Improvisation, where you'll explore the body as a vehicle of communication, empathy, and co-regulation. These practices cultivate trust, presence, and somatic awareness through trust-based movement, weight-sharing, and non-verbal communication. You will learn how to embody healthy boundaries, how to use voice and touch in an integrated way, and how to create a safe space for others to move, express, and heal through the body. In the group context, this evolves into ensemble improvisation, sacred witnessing, and community building through movement and sound.

To support your physical vitality and spiritual development, we offer guidance in Ayurveda and Yogic nutrition. You'll learn the principles of a sattvic diet—a way of eating that calms the mind, balances the body, and nurtures the soul. We explore the profound connection between Ayurveda and Yoga, offering practical tools to align your diet with your lifestyle and energetic needs. During the training, participants are encouraged to abstain from alcohol, tobacco, meat, and stimulants, creating a clean inner space to fully receive the teachings and deepen in practice.
