waves of stillness: Nada Yoga Training (50h), Online Sound Healing Training
Welcome to the nada sound healing training
Join us on this profound four-week training (50 training hours) that will guide you toward a deep understanding of sacred sound and inner silence. Rooted in the ancient philosophy of Nada Yoga (the Sacred Union of Sound), this course invites you to a transformative exploration from vibrations to stillness, unraveling the mysteries of sound, meditation, mantras, and their profound effects on your inner world.
The course delves into the theoretical and practical foundations of Nada Yoga, inviting unity through sound and silence, and exploring mantras to evoke joy, healing, and self-awareness. This journey teaches you to recognize silence as the very basis of sound and their intrinsic connection within you.
The yogis knew that sound is the origin of the universe. Nada Yoga is a philosophy and practice over 5,000 years old from India. Nada translates to the flow of consciousness and sound. We will study and practice the teachings of Nada Yoga (the ancient yoga of sound). Nada Yoga is one of the purest forms of yoga and sound healing, leading us into silence and absolute unity, opening new dimensions of sound.
The Intention
My intention with this course was to craft a transformative journey aimed at assisting people in gaining a deeper understanding of the art of sound healing and connecting with sound’s subtle dimensions.
Drawing from our experiences as practitioners, we've observed that, despite some people being fully committed to their spiritual practices, there's often a missing element—a deeper comprehension of the sacredness of silence and the subtle vibrations that sounds are composed of. Throughout this course, we will explore mantras, soundscapes, notes, scales (both Indian and Western), chakras, and sound from a much more profound dimension than is typically taught. Participants will learn to perform rituals related to sound, as well as develop their voice through sacred chanting. Also, we will delve into compelling topics such as the Unstuck Sound, the Spiritual Heart, ancient goddesses of sound, tantric teachings, and more. You will gain a deep understanding of the subtle power of sound and the healing vibration of nada, mantra and the divine source of sound.
the topics and teachings - what we will explore together
In the course we will move through the different stages of Nada Yoga (the Yoga of Sound) and explore each stage connected to different Sound Healing Dimensions, Soundscapes, Scales, Mantras, Yantras and Rituals. Each week we introduce a new Mantra for you to practice (with your Crystal Bowls or any other Instrument). Also we will offer you contemplative homework to explore the sacredness of sound and gain a deeper understanding of sound and its connection to silence.
Week 1
We begin this journey with a sacred Opening Ceremony—a space to enter the field of Nada Yoga with presence and reverence. We set intentions, call in guidance, and open a shared vibrational space for transformation to unfold.
The first theme is Audible Sound, where we explore the direct, physical experience of vibration through voice, chanting, and listening. We dive into the energy of Bija Mantras—the seed sounds of creation—and how they awaken inner resonance and clarity. Devotional sound, chanting, and the beauty of tonal expression invite us into a felt connection with the heart. We also begin to touch the landscape of soundscapes, Ragas, and the vibrational power of musical structure.
Week 2
This week invites us into the realm of Mental Sound—the inner repetition of sacred sounds and how these mantras support clarity, stillness, and deep connection. We explore how sound travels not only through voice but through thought and subtle perception. Where does sound arise from? How does it emerge within us? This week is also dedicated to the Goddesses of Sound, and the healing role of mantra in connection with Alchemy Crystal Bowls.
On Sunday, we enter the Heart as Organ of Wisdom. Through sound, we return to the intelligence of the heart, to feeling, intuition, and the vibrational field of love.
We also begin to explore The Art of Ceremony & Ritual—how sound has always been part of sacred tradition, and how ritual creates energetic coherence. With a tantric lens, we learn to create spaces of meaning and transformation using vibration, intention, and presence.
Week 3
This week opens the doorway to the Visual Sound—an exploration of sacred geometry, yantras, and the subtle language of form that mirrors vibration. We begin to see the sound, not only hear it. Yantras become tools for concentration, stability, and vibrational alignment.
The week concludes with our Silent Retreat Day—a deep pause to come into inner stillness. Through guided and self-led practices, we enter the sound of silence, tuning into the subtle inner current and allowing integration to unfold in its own rhythm.
Week 4
We now move into Nada Meditation Techniques—specific practices for tuning into the inner sound stream. This is where the subtle becomes tangible. Through breath, awareness, and refined listening, we experience the medicine of inner vibration and the soundless sound. These practices support nervous system regulation, heart-brain coherence, and spiritual unfolding.
On Sunday, we return again to silence—our Silent Retreat Day—to deepen everything we’ve received, and to let the sound guide us inward into stillness, reflection, and connection.
Week 5
This week we explore Para—the transcendent sound. This is the stage of Nada Yoga where the inner sound dissolves into the infinite. The unstruck sound, the sound beyond sound. Through meditative practice and deep inner inquiry, we come into contact with this formless vibration—pure awareness. This is where sound becomes presence.
We complete our journey with a Closing Ceremony, a sacred space of reflection and gratitude. We look back on the path we’ve walked together, and forward to how these frequencies can continue to live within us and flow into our lives and offerings.

irina sterna
Alchemy Sound Studio was founded by Irina Sterna, a longtime sound practitioner with a passion to share the transformative beauty of high frequency sound with the world. Her devotion to the art inspired her to bring crystal sound bowls to the her home country of Germany. As her community grew, a sacred space was created to showcase a vast collection of crystal bowls, host rejuvenating sound baths and facilitate educational workshops to share her knowledge with others.
TESTIMONIALS
JILL
"Thank you, Irina, for everything as I have just finished your Meditation and Nada Yoga course.
For me, personally, I would say one of the words to best describe this course to me is "aligned." I do not really know what guided me to your course, but I knew it was a resounding, yes, I had to take it. Since the start of the course, the lectures, the mantras, the meditations...everything has shown up in the other parts of my life in magical ways too numerous to count.
I loved all of the various topics of the lectures and handouts...the history, the stories that went along with the history, music theory, deepening my meditation practice, the chanting, the mantras...the list is endless. I really loved the integration of the harmonium you played for us. It made the mantras, the chanting so much more powerful and more meaningful than I could have ever imagined. It was a beautiful practice.
Thank you for your love, wisdom and guidance on this wonderful journey.With love from Arizona,
Jill."
