Vocal Expression Training (October 2026 Cohort)
5-week small group cohort up to 8 participants
A practical and supportive training to access greater aliveness, expression and freedom through getting to know your instrument and singing with it!
Through breath, body movement, voice, connection and mantra or medicine songs, you will learn and practice foundational vocal techniques to allow you to express your sound naturally and easefully.
Your requirements:
Interest, Curiosity, Open-mindedness, Willingness to sing in front of a small supportive group, show up for 5 weeks consistently, daily 20 minute breath & voice practice, general interest or curiosity in at least one of these: breathing, yoga, mantra, kirtan, kriya, bhakti, medicine music.
The Outcome
By the end of this program, you will feel more confident singing your heart out during your personal sadhana (practice), your song circles, or even in singing a song in a group setting.
Over 5 weeks, you will:
Learn foundational breath & vocal technique
Understand must-know sustainable vocal health tips
Receive a streamlined baseline assessment to start measuring your singing progress
Experience collaborative coaching - an approach where I provide one student real-time feedback as the others benefit from witnessing
Be guided in nervous system regulation methods before, during and after singing
Embody the importance of connecting to your instrument and something greater than yourself when singing
Create a felt sense of the benefits of establishing a regular daily singing practice
Define your why: connect your singing journey to a greater purpose
You will be supported in a community WhatsApp group to build a daily breath and voice practice you can sustain if singing more often is one of your goals.
Overall, you will gently train your nervous system by learning to feel more grounded, connected, and present when using your voice.
You will hear and feel measurable progress in your voice. My guarantee: If you are engaged in the program and you do not hear or feel a transformation in your voice or confidence level, I will work with you until you do.
