INTEGRAL YOGA
OF THE VOICE:
DEVOTION, HEALING,
AND TRANSFORMATION
THROUGH SOUND

Silvia Nakkach

The yoga of the voice uses voice and sound as a gateway to connect with our true energetic nature to access transformational power at one's center. This workshop will explore the different dimensions of the healing voice: the contemplative, the expressive, the shamanic, and the ecstatic. Participants will embody the quality of singing that transforms energy patterns, affecting consciousness more efficiently than any other form of sound.

Through an original repertoire of breath, sound, movement, and cross-cultural vocal techniques, developed by Silvia Nakkach and considered landmarks in the field of music therapy, participants will become familiar with the uses of the voice in yoga, alternative medicine, energy healing, psychotherapy, and spiritual practice. The repertoire will include universal healing mantras and the Hindu tradition of sonorous yogas that clear the chakras and stimulate the brain, awakening a joyous sense of well-being.
