Yoga of the Voice class description

In each weekly 1.5 hour session we will begin with practices to open the voice through breath then flow into making sound with things like humming, sighing, scanning. We will then warm up the voice with what are called spirit voices and shamanic inner voices leading to tuning the voice with traditional scales from India. This will bring us to creating tones in a call and response way working with seed syllables used to purify the elements arriving at Invocations....a calling of an energy or deity of the present moment....journeying into a 30 minute vocal meditation, where we will utilize different mantras, prayers and chants from around the globe including Japan,Tibet, India, Afro-Brazil, Hawaii, the Amazon.

Madi Sato's Experience

I have been singing, songwriting recording, and touring my music for over 15 years now. The past six years have been spent going back and forth to Japan to study traditional music from my lineage. During the past year I have been in an intensive sound-healing training with Silvia Nakkach using The Yoga of the Voice (tm) method. These studies have lead me to Japan in May 2008 to begin leading groups in song and chant. I have collaborated with various traditional artists from around the world, including Japan and Tibet, as well as, Australia and Native American artists.

"My intentions for a weekly chanting group is to provide a safe and inspiring space and pathway to awaken the spirit of the voice and re-connect with the sacred through the ancient music of our ancestors, as well as, new improvisational vocal strategies helping the mind, body and spirit to release old fears and ways liberating each person to discover new frontiers of being." - Madi Sato
