Voice Yoga Winter Solstice Retreat 2022. Photo: Jackal Mei

WHAT IS THIS RETREAT ABOUT?

In Voice Yoga’s dynamic group process, you go beyond your habits and expectations. Something larger than yourself emerges: a flow of hidden creative potential.

Grounded in physical exercise such as yoga and breathwork, we practise all kinds of sounds without meaning. We do not emphasize a beautiful singing voice either. We are looking for pure, direct expressions of physical resonance and vibration through mouth, limbs, hips, feet, skin and inner organs. Voice Yoga is grounded in the idea that many of us are often trapped in body-mind dualities and many other dualities. We look to go beyond these dualities; to dissolve the many lines we draw around everything and make them permeable. To accept that rigidity is often there and has its function, but to strive for more fluidity. In these moments, when things flow without a worry, we can experience great joy, like an innocent child.

PLACE

We hold our sessions in Shufang’s Energy Healing, a gorgeous yoga studio with a big garden in Dulan, Taidong. The studio has all utilities we need. We can use the big lawn outside for music and workouts in fresh air (weather permitting), a giant rock to repose, and shady places to rest.

There are several options for your overnight stay nearby, on a walking distance or further away. We are about a 10 minutes walk from downtown Dulan.

Accommodation:  Moonrise Inn is closest to the studio nearby.

nearby hostels that are popular with our students include  Tranquilo Hostel and On My Way Dulan Hostel 

∂þ 

FOR WHOM?

Despite the name, Voice Yoga is not a harsh or demanding yoga camp, quite the contrary: it lets you grow at your own pace and rest, sleep or observe when you want to. The workshop attracts young, curious artists; established musicians and performers facing creative obstacles or blockades; yoga and other body-mind workers not very familiar with sound; people familiar with sound but needing a fuller understanding and experience of it; people young and old looking for physical and spiritual renewal; practitioners of contemplative traditions like Buddhist meditation looking for wholesome, creative work in line with their existing practice; busy people needing a break from 9-5 work and seeking body-mind restoration in a relaxed atmosphere.

There are no specific requirements to join. Ages range from students in their 20s to retirees in their 70s. Yoga, music or other skills are not required. We strive for a group between 8 and 12 people.

∂þ

HOW TO PREPARE?

Bring a yoga mat to exercise and lie down. There are sitting cushions and also chairs if you cannot sit on the floor for long. Bring something to cover yourself when we repose or meditate. Bringing an instrument is a good idea (no need to play it well; a percussive instrument is always good).

KNOW MORE?

Mark’s Voice Yoga has been running for more than 15 years and brings together decades of creative, vocal expression, yogic discipline and contemplative traditions.

Voice Yoga is neither yoga as you see it all around you, nor music as you hear it every day or learn it in classes and workshops. It is a personal, artistic synthesis of a wide range of musical, resonant, theatrical, contemplative and physical arts. What binds them together is Mark’s unique synthesis and his vision to create a strong sense of flow, no matter what the activity is. Serious workouts smoothly blend with unforgettable, unrepeatable musical creations; deep breath work morphs into contact improv; vocal exercises into theatre; and so on.
This retreat will expand your vision, whether you are a musician, dancer, yoga teacher, actor, or just interested in working on your personal growth through the connections between sound, body and mind.

CURIOUS BUT IN DOUBT?

關於聲音瑜伽 療癒假期

在聲音瑜伽的動態團體過程中，你將超越自己的習慣和期望。看見比自我更廣大的自己開始甦醒: 那些隱藏著的創造力開始顯現，如河水般開始流動。

以瑜伽或呼吸法等身體練習為基礎，我們使用各種沒有意義和也不強調美麗歌聲的聲音。我們尋求透過嘴巴、四肢、臀部、雙腳、皮膚及內臟，來表達純粹、直接的身體共鳴與震動感受。聲音瑜伽的根基在於：我們許多人往往被困在身心二元對立，以及其他諸多二元對立之中。我們致力於超越這些二元對立；消融我們在萬物周圍劃下的種種界線，使其變得更通透。我們接受僵化往往存在且有其功能，但同時追求更大的流動性。在這些時刻，當萬物無憂無慮地流動時，我們便能像天真無邪的孩子般，體驗到無上的喜悅。

參加對象

儘管「聲音瑜珈」名稱聽起來嚴苛，但這並非一個要求嚴苛的瑜珈營，恰恰相反：它讓你能以自己的步調成長，並隨心所欲的休息、睡覺或安靜觀察。

這個工作坊吸引了年輕、充滿好奇心的藝術家；已經在創作中遇到困境或障礙的專業音樂家和表演者；對聲音不太熟悉的瑜伽和其他身心工作者；熟悉聲音但需要更深入了解和體驗的人；年輕和年長的人，尋求身體和精神的更新；佛教及其他靜觀傳統（如佛教禪修）的修行者，正在尋找符合其現有需求——即需要更深入的呼吸與誦經修習——的、有益且富有創造性的練習；忙碌的人們需要從朝九晚五的工作中抽身休息，並在輕鬆的氛圍中恢復身心。

參加工作坊無需特定要求。年齡從20多歲的學生到約75歲退休者不等。不需要瑜伽、音樂或其他技能。我們希望參加的人數在8到12人之間。

∂þ

如何準備？ 

請攜帶瑜伽墊用於運動和躺下。如果您不能長時間坐在地板上，我們提供坐墊和椅子。當我們休息或冥想時，請攜帶東西蓋住自己。攜帶樂器是個好主意（不需要演奏得很好；打擊樂器總是不錯的選擇）

想了解更多？

馬克的聲音瑜伽已實踐快超過15年，這個方法匯集了數十年的創造性、聲音表達、瑜伽修行和冥想傳統。

聲音瑜伽既不是你在四周看到的瑜伽，也不是你每天都聽到的音樂，或在其他工作坊與課程中學習到的。它是一種個人的、藝術性的綜合，融合了廣泛的音樂、共鳴、戲劇、冥想和身體藝術。它們的共同點是馬克的獨特綜合和他的願景，創造出一種強烈的流動感，無論活動是什麼。嚴肅的練習融入令人難以忘懷（無法重複！）的音樂創作中，深層呼吸法演變為接觸即興，聲音練習則變成劇場。

這個療癒假期將擴展你的視野，無論您是音樂家、舞者、瑜伽老師、演員，還是只是對通過聲音、身體和心靈之間的聯繫來工作於個人成長感興趣。

The post 2026 Voice Yoga Winter Solstice Retreat appeared first on Fusica.

The Mongols, the Tuvans and Tibetans practise it since times immemorial.

Composers Lamonte Young and Karlheinz Stockhausen introduced it to a select audience in the West.

Singers David Hykes, with his Harmonic Choir, and Michael Vetter developed a whole new way of doing it.

Your own voice resonates multiple sounds when you sing, and even when you speak.

[you are reading the transcription of the text spoken in the video]

In recent decades, more and more people discover this unusual way of vocalising, making it somewhat more …. usual.

I am talking about the technique called overtone singing. A singing practise that allows one to produce a low note and a melody of higher tones on top of it, using only the human voice.
Overtone singing is not mystical, secret or esoteric by itself, though it’s easy to understand the association.

Anyone can learn the basics of producing two tones at the same time, using only his or her voice. And this course teaches that in a few dozen clear and infectious videos. Each video zooms in to one specific way to develop a more resonant voice, making your overtones more and more audible.

Join me, Mark van Tongeren, author of the definitive sourcebook on the subject, on a path I am travelling for over 30 years.

I taught myself the basics of overtone singing around 1990. And then went on to study, record and interview many important people in the field around the world, starting with Rollin Rachele, author of the first-ever study guide for overtone singers. Soon after I set out to study with the famous throat singers from Tuva, Siberia, like Kaygal-ool Khovalyg of Huun-Huur-Tuu.

I wanted to understand how they look at their vocal art, music and sound and the connections to body, mind, spirit and religion.

This course is my condensation of decades of singing, teaching, listening and learning.
Full of tips and tricks and all the basic tools you need to jump-start your own journey to new dimensions of your resonant body, mind and voice.

Set apart one to two months for this fascinating journey, to change the way you listen and the way you make sound with your voice.

Enjoy access for the rest of your life.

The post Learn Overtone Singing @ Home appeared first on Fusica.

This very complete workshop teaches you the principles of resonance by learning the basics of overtone singing: a special way of listening to and making vocal sounds that has many useful applications for singers and non-singers alike. It requires no previous musical training. It is taught by one of the world’s leading overtone singers, Mark van Tongeren, who spend decades documenting this fascinating technique by visiting and recording performers in all major traditions and interviewing many contemporary singers and composers.

R E S O N A N C E  is Mark’s most complete course. It gives you a thorough basis in practices based around overtone singing and the resonant voice in general. This course was first launched in 2014 and is now running for the 11th time. In recent years it was updated to take advantage of the fact that all three team members can assist through their long training with Mark as overtone singers and ‘resonators’. The result of this shift became clear at the end of the most recent 8-day courses (2025 and 2026): students perform better and learn quicker than in previous years.

We also introduced a new format that allows you to learn the basics at your own pace at home. The subsequent stages are:

– an easy-paced, one month online course that introduces many of the basic concepts and practices.

– a four-day in-person workshop to further explore your personal voice and ways to harmonise, resonate and sing overtones together.

– 9 weeks self-study at home or together

– another four-day group session with pieces and improvisations guided by two Teaching Assistants …

–  … also including a one-on-one class with Mark for each student to work on specific obstacles

– life-time access to the online modules

Are you not living in or near Taiwan and not able to join our retreat? Or are you not a beginner anymore? Then you can consider to take one or several 1-on-1 online classes with Mark.

SAPIENTIA (Guangfu) January 7 – 10   (4 days fulltime) 2027

We come together in the tranquil, focused setting of Sapientia in Guangfu, Hualien, where we will sing, listen, sense and resonate together for four days. We immerse ourselves in the resonances of each other’s voices, building on the power that emerges from close-listening. We fine-tune our voices in harmonies – both conventional ‘outer’ harmonies and the ‘inner’ harmonies of overtones. These practices are interspersed with insightful stories from the world’s most iconic traditions of overtone singing, documented by Mark himself in the course of more than three decades of research and artistic exploration.

Day 1

Finding inner and outer harmony from embodied breath and natural resonance

Day 2

Traditional practise and wisdom explored and utilised for new forms of resonant singing

Day 3

Harmonics as/in healing and therapy: confronting fear, developing self-confidence.

Day 4

Boosting your Resonance and creative applications.

SESSION TIMES SAPIENTIA

Breakfast 8:00-9:00

Morning sessions: 9:30-12:30

Lunch break: 12:30-14:30

Afternoon sessions: 14:30-16:00 + 16:30-18:00.

Dinner break: 18:00-19:00

Evenings are for resting, self practice, jamming… till 22:00?

The last session finishes in the afternoon of Sunday at 4 PM.

THEMES FOR THESE FOUR-DAYS

SINGING

° learn to sing the basic techniques of overtone singing: NG (gong), RR (bird), LL (sygyt), vowel (ee-uu)

° enrich your vocal resonance

° meditative and therapeutic practices

° embodied listening, embodied vocalising

° musical ritual and wisdom from Christianity and Buddhism

° Mongolian, Siberian and Tibetan forms of throat singing

Like no other, Mark has single-handedly undertaken enduring, in-depth investigations into all the major traditions of overtone singing: Tuva and the Siberian and Mongolian Altai, Tibet, Sardinia, South-Africa.

LISTENING

° break through your habitual patterns of hearing and making sound

° ‘ear cleaning’: make a new start listening to all sound instead of familiar patterns

° hearing overtones in the colours and timbres of a voice

RESONANT ENCOUNTERS

° guided resonating with one or more voices

° giving feedback to each other’s voices

VOCAL STYLE and INSTRUMENTS

The main emphasis is on using / applying / hearing resonance with a relaxed, more occidental voice. Short introductions to the pressed, guttural voices of throat singing, for example Tuvan khöömei and sygyt are also given for comparison. We will learn some pieces and guided improvisations by by Mark and also create our own. In addition we will use instruments such as singing bowls, bells, lutes and fiddles. You are encouraged to bring your own – the greater the resonant spectrum, the better!

9-WEEK SELF-STUDY

As you continue your journey with your own voice, we provide you with a curated selection of some of the most interesting and important videos on the internet. These will guarantee to keep you inspired in your own practise and deepen your understanding. (Primarily English – Mandarin may not be available.)

Optional: organise your own online or in-person gatherings to learn with/from each other, discuss videos, etc..

SAPIENTIA (Guangfu) March 18 – 21 (4 days fulltime) 2027

During this second get-together, Mark and his teaching assistants will build upon the results from the previous 4-day immersive workshop and your personal journey over the past 9 weeks. Much time is spent on technical work, which will be diversified to cater for different types of students and their needs.

The basis of resonance is concentrated voice/body work, balance of body-mind exercise and good overtone singing skills. During these four days, each student will have a one-on-one private session with Mark to erase stumbleblocks. We also work in small groups, and collectively on pieces that we learn or to create new work. After this weekend, you will know your strengths and which direction to go. On the second afternoon students collaborate to create final pieces to round off their  R E S O N A N C E  retreat..

That was the signal to also let the Anthology of Overtone Singing go public. First of all on Bandcamp, where the audio is now available for streaming or purchasing. I also submitted all tracks to Apple Music, Spotify etc. etc. 25 Artists that are not featured on Apple Music and Spotify yet now will be represented there. It took me about a year of preparations and it meant not a small thing to press that ‘SUBMIT’ button to me.

So book and music are available now from Terra Nova Press, from me and next week also from a European address. We are still working out the best solution to offer the music and the book in one go. For the moment, the book is available through Terra Nova Press and by writing to me directly, while the Anthology is available in Bandcamp. Possibly we offer both in one package very soon.

There is a limited number of books available with a CD that is nearly identical with the streaming version from Bandcamp: just two tracks have been shortened a bit to fit onto the CD format. Details will soon be published on Bandcamp; you can also write to me if that is what you need.

The major platforms will  start selling and shipping the book in December or January.

For now, get it directly from one of us!

聲音的共鳴　年度工作坊
2017 – 2018
探索人類聲音隱藏的淺能—用泛音跟新的音質來創造音樂; 以新的方式傾聽世界以及自己的聲音; 用自己的聲音作為轉變與進行更有效的表達的工具。

「透過呼吸與聆聽身體及環境中的共鳴我們展開一段不可思議的巡禮，發掘創新與治療的潛能。」
馬克．范．湯格鄰

「最令我們感動的是老師的帶領方式…不著痕跡、有洞見地、循序漸進、有創意、好玩且即時。滿心誠摯的感謝。」
Ｕna Kao

【自己，自己的聲音，與自己的存在】
要如何找到自己的聲音? 要怎麼做自己? 要如何不再做自己，而成為另一個人? 另一個你想成為的人?

要如何感覺自己整個存有共鳴，活著的，完整的……對自己的存在感到自在，可以在他人面前展現真正的自己? 和其他可以做自己的人相會；不用特別有禮貌或是維持外表的和諧?

在德蘇(Mark van Tongeren)的聲音的【共鳴】課程中，音樂—特別是人聲—會是幫助你達到以上目標的工具。探入你的靈魂深處，顛覆你的心思跟想法，甚至改變你的物質身體。把「一個人自身」不同的「部份」重新結合，化為一個能夠共振的整體；成為一個震動、脈搏和頻率的交響樂。

泛音演唱技巧是本門課的訓練基礎。泛音就像是你的聲音音色中，自成一格的小世界。你會浸淫於基礎泛音序列的音樂性聲音。我們會一次次的改變我們聆聽以及發聲的方式，以開啟泛音和泛音序列隱藏的層面。實際訓練方法將以帶實驗性和個人化的方式進行、使你能夠更自由地表達自我，運用你聲音中本自俱足的豐富音色。

《招收對象》
我們歡迎各種背景的人來參加【共鳴】課程。前學員有上班族、老師、藝術學校的學生跟創意工作者；也有電腦專家、瑜珈老師跟對聲音有障礙的人；也還有熱愛蒙古與圖瓦呼麥的男歌者，和受古典訓練的女高音。這個課程開立給任何對聲音的創造性有興趣；在生活中尋求平衡的現代人。不須任何音樂背景。不過，已經參加過幾個泛音課程的學生也還有很多可以學。如果你還在猶豫，歡迎聯繫我們來問問題。

【授課語言】
本門課老師以英語授課，你的中文翻譯，陳亮伃，會依照需求重點式或整段翻譯。

【收費、折扣、與優惠說明】
【共鳴】工作坊（十堂課）學費總計17,500 NT$。
請於開課前完成繳費報名。

符合以下條件者得享優惠方案（折扣不重複）

時間： 2017年12月 ~ 2018年4月
每月間的星期六10:00 am~17:00 pm，共十堂課。

講師：

德蘇（Mark van Tongeren）是一位聲音探險家，長期關注藝術與科學領域之間的協同作用。作為一位自學而成的音樂家，他參與多項戲劇、音樂與舞蹈製作和錄音。為荷蘭萊登大學表演藝術學博士。現任國立政治大學講師。
www.fusica.nl/biography

「與聲音同在為我帶來這麼多的喜悅。我在這裡找到我的自我。我應該要唱出來，為你而唱，讓你知道你帶給我有多少。」
新竹的Sky

「很喜歡聲音自由地、自發地流出的狀態。我雖是唱者，同時我也是聽者。我聽著聲音從我的口中流出～自然的流出～聲音是靈魂的語言，有些東西無法用語言和文字來表達。我覺得泛唱可以打開許多未知和不可知。」
三重的Amano

「這兩年接觸了聲音瑜伽和共鳴，老師的溫和及不急不徐，讓我願意嘗試，運用這個身體和聲音，可以打開一個更大的世界，而吵雜的噪音也可能變得有趣。只要用老師引導的方式，回到身體、進入呼吸之流，不費力的，緊張逐漸卸下。一旦人放鬆了，心也開始變得自由，遊戲本能甦醒，就讓自己的聲音成為聽見自己的陪伴。老師的無為而為又溫柔堅定的帶領，讓我碰觸對喉嚨和身體的緊縮，於是知道怎麼讓它再度打開。」
台北的Nancy

Explore the hidden dimensions of the human voice.
Make music with overtones and new timbres.
Listen to the world and to yourself with new ears.
Learn how to use your voice as a powerful tool for transformation and better communication.

By taking time to breathe and to listen to all the ways in which the body and the world resonates, we open up an amazing path of discovery and creative, therapeutic learning. – Mark van Tongeren

What impressed us is the way of your teaching … subtle, perceptual, respective, creative, fun and updated. Thank you sincerely. – Una Kao

YOU, YOUR VOICE, AND YOUR BEING
How to find your own voice? How to be who you are? How not to be who you are, but to become someone else? Someone you wish to be?

How to feel your whole being resonating, alive, complete …. to feel at ease with yourself, and to be completely YOU while in the presence of others? To meet others around you who can also be themselves, without acting nicely, or keeping up appearances?

In Mark van Tongeren’s R E S O N A N C E course, music, and most of all, the human voice, is the foremost instrument to achieve precisely that goal. To reach into the greatest depths of your soul, to stir your mind and your thinking, even to change your physical body. To bring all these disparate ‘parts’ of ‘a single self’ together in a fully resonating whole, a symphony of vibrations, pulses, frequencies.

The backbone of this training program is the overtone singing technique. Overtones are like a world of their own residing within the timbres of your voice. You will deeply immerse yourself in the fundamental harmonic laws of musical sound We will come back again and again to change the way we listen and vocalise, opening up to the hidden dimension of overtones, the harmonics that our voices and ears know well but our minds know not. In an experiential and personalised way you will learn to express yourself better, using a fuller range and spectrum of your voice.

FOR WHOM?
We have welcomed all kinds of people in the R e s o n a n c e course, from white-collar workers and school teachers to art students and creative professionals, from computer experts to yoga teachers and people with voice problems, from male afficionadoes of Mongolian and Tuvan khöömei to classically trained soprano’s.
This course is aimed at anyone with an interest in or sensitivity for sound as a creative principle. and those seeking more balance in their live.
No previous musical experience is required. For students who have already done one or more workshops of overtone singing there will still be plenty to learn. If you are in doubt, contact us with your questions.

LANGUAGE
The course will be mostly conducted in English. Your interpreter Sunny Chen will summarise or translate entire parts of the course into Mandarin, depending on the needs.

PRICES, DISCOUNTS and BENEFITS
The price per participant is 17.500 NT$ for ten classes. The following discounts apply (only one per person):
* Students and seniors with valid identity cards for the duration of the course: 25 %.
* Early birds: 15 % if you register before October 20. Extended to November 5!
* Payment in smaller increments is possible.

TESTIMONIALS
So much happiness and joy of being with you.
And it’s where I find ME.
I should sing it. Sing it for you.
To let you know how much you give me.
Sky from Hsinchu

I really enjoy sound flowing out freely and impulsively. Although I am the singer, I am also the listener, I hear sound coming out of my mouth, naturally flowing.
I feel sound is the language of the soul, something language cannot express.
I really wish to learn overtone singing.
I feel overtone singing opens up some unknown and unfathomable territories.
Amano from Hsinchu

What is Voice Yoga?

Voice Yoga consists of a series of exercises that gives pride of place to the voice as a central, creative force in our lifes. Our existence depends in important ways on our speaking, listening, sounding and singing abilities. The class promotes awareness of the many roles of the voice in our daily lives. It expands our creative vocabulary, without necessarily talking about music, the singing voice or any musical style. The point is not so much to learn any specific new technique: we play with the voice in a lot of different ways and listen with fresh ears to the hidden potential of our voices.

In Voice Yoga, sound, silence and resonance become a mirror for the self. The sounds produced by ourselves,  allows us to ‘see’ ourselves more clearly, to hear what’s living deep inside us. In ever-growing cycles of creating and perceiving we learn about music and sound, about ourselves and about the environment.

Structure of the classes

We usually start with silence, breath and body movements to turn away from our busy mind into the body and to the sensations we actually experience. We let the voice come out of a natural breath flow. We listen to and follow its natural resonances. We do not try to sing in an artful way, but to experience how body-mind-voice are intimately connected, and how voice and resonance can serve as a bridge to overcome the dualistic notion of body <> mind. From then on, all kinds of styles and genres of vocalising and musicking may happen, some structured, some wild, some giving insight in your voice, some therapeutic. Exercises are based on yoga, musical and theatrical techniques, vipassana meditation and our innate love to play like children.

The idea behind Voice Yoga is comparable to yoga and tai-chi: the effect of the exercises is gradual. We believe that only with repeated classes you can really learn to connect the energies of voice & sound with the whole of your body and mind. You slowly become more and more familiar with your voice and its powers; you will begin to hear and feel things you did not hear and feel before. That’s why we suggest you to sign up for four classes a time after your trial class.

The teacher

Voice Yoga is designed and taught by Mark van Tongeren, who brings with him 25 years of experience in working with sound, music and theatre and many different cultures.

In my Voice Yoga Review of 2014 you can read about some recent experiences:
https://fusica.wordpress.com/2014/12/30/voice-yoga-2014-re-view/

For whom
For those seeking to enrich their voices, let off steam and unlock their hidden creative potential. For singers and those who are afraid to sing. For actors, musicians and other artists and professionals who work with sound. Perhaps more than anyone else, people who want to experience and learn about the therapeutical effects of sound seem to benefit from Voice Yoga. The human voice is a tool that assists human beings to produce a mirror-like reflection of the world around them in their minds. By gaining a deeper understanding and experience of the mechanisms of making sounds, words and music, and of listening, we gradually deepen the connections within ourselves (our body-minds) and with others and the world around us.

Dates and time
please look here for current dates and times (voice yoga dates 2015).

The post About Voice Yoga appeared first on Fusica.

The outline of the formula was the same: start with silence, breath and ‘body-work’ (which is always also mind-work). Then a first  exploration of our unused potential to make sound, with simple, and sometimes primitive, raw sounds and movements. Then a structured part with more warming-up of ‘body-speech-mind’ (to use the Buddhist three-fold scheme of the human being), the ‘vowel triad‘ and the ‘ocean exercise’. Depending on the particular dynamic of the day (and the duration of the preceding parts), I add two or three of a large pool of rotating exercises that let us listen, feel and (re)sound in different ways. In the end, I often sing with the sruti-box, and students lie down on the mats in the Canjune Training Center.

Some of the new students of this year got really hooked on our weekly session, saying they missed it a lot when I was travelling, for example. Every student’s input changes the way things turn out, and the recent sessions have become true adventures of body, mind and sound. One time, right after a particularly powerful session of vocal noises, chants, screams, rhythms, I asked each student what (s)he had just experienced. I had decided not to interrupt the sound-making, and it had lasted longer than ever, about 45 minutes without a break. It was amazing to hear their deeply personal, moving accounts. Every student had gone  through powerful experiences. One re-lived her pain from the past by letting the sounds follow the beating of her foot, which felt like a great relief. Another mainly listened, which worried me a little; but she was extremely grateful to what she heard and was crying at some point. A therapist told us she used her lessons from Voice Yoga to help others relief their pain, by adding sounds to the massage treatment and inviting her client to make sounds too. Another could hardly find the words to describe her feelings, but said she felt completely enveloped by the other voices and also merged them, while singing or just listening. One student’s first response, after we had just stopped our sound-making, was: ‘Ahh, this is better than sex!’

I usually try to limit my own talking and do not ask students to talk about their experience either. So I was amazed to learn about their feelings and impressions, and felt encouraged to develop this path further. I thank all those who have attended the Voice Yoga class in the last two years, whether it is one or ten or twenty times, for their courage, their input, their creativity. This class is so interesting because of you all! And I thank Canjune for the wonderful and inspiring space, which was renovated early 2014.

The post Voice Yoga 2014 Re-view appeared first on Fusica.

In this class we use the voice in its immense richness, not only as a musical instrument, but as our primary tool to communicate and exist through/with/for/from sound. In Voice Yoga, sound, silence and resonance become a mirror for the self. The sounds produced by ourselves,  allows us to ‘see’ ourselves more clearly, to hear what’s living deep inside us. In ever-growing cycles of creating and perceiving we learn about music and sound, about ourselves and about the environment. A ‘quintessence of science, sound and self’ as I  called it in my book Overtone Singing.
