ceremony of sound: Nada Yoga and mantra training (80h)

Welcome!

Join us on this profound eight-week training (80 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:

Our 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.

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."
