NADA – the yoga of sound

Nada SOUND Training (50h), Online Sound Healing Training

ARIL 12 - MAY 26 2026

april - mai 2026

This 6-week journey into Nada Yoga, the ancient practice of uniting sound and silence, guides you from vibration into inner stillness. Rooted in a 5,000-year-old tradition, Nada Yoga reveals sound as the flow of consciousness a path into clarity, wholeness, and expanded awareness.

Nada is the yogic science of sound as consciousness.
It begins in silence and unfolds into vibration, tone, and mantra as tools of inner listening. Through these practices, you attune to subtler layers of awareness and reconnect with the spiritual and philosophical roots of sound.

Throughout the training, we explore sound, meditation, the flow of qi, mantra, and the subtle effects of vibration on your inner world studying both the theoretical and practical foundations of this timeless path.

Nada means “the flow of consciousness and sound.”
This pure form of yoga invites us into unity through the alchemical process of transformation through sound.

Live Components:
Live Lectures, Evening Meditations, 1 Silent Retreat Day

Evening Meditations: Each Monday at 8pm

WHAT YOU WILL practice

Through mantra, meditation, self-inquiry, and sacred sound practices, you’ll explore:

〰 The flow of energy through sound
〰 The Unstruck Sound (Anahata Nada)
〰 the body field in the sound field
〰 The Spiritual Heart as a source of vibration
〰 Nervous system regulation through inner stillness
〰 Silence as the origin of sound
〰 Practical sound work with the voice and crystal singing bowls (and if you want harmonium)

my Intention

My intention is to offer a wholesome journey that deepens your understanding of sound healing and reconnects you with its subtle dimensions.

From our experience as practitioners, we've seen that even with spiritual practice, something is often missing:
〰 A true sense of the sacredness
〰 An embodied awareness of vibration in sound and stillness
〰 The ability to open spaces that transmit presence and clarity

This course is here to awaken your connection to the healing vibration of Nada, Mantra, and the divine source of sound and to bring more presence, purpose, and peace into the way you live and share sound.

  • We begin with a sacred Opening Ceremony, entering the field of Nada Yoga with presence and reverence. Intentions are set, guidance is invited, and a shared vibrational space is opened.

    Stage 1: Vaikhari focuses on audible sound sound as physical vibration felt in the body. Grounded in the Earth element, this stage establishes embodiment and stability as the foundation of the practice.

    Through simple foundational practices and toning, we experience sound as the first bridge between body and inner resonance. Voice, mantra, and devotional sound awaken clarity and heart connection. Working with Bija Mantras and archetypal energies such as Shiva, Tara, and Kali, we meet sound as a living force of presence and transformation.

    Vaikhari invites us to listen with the body and root our practice in direct, embodied experience.

  • Stage 2: Madhyama, the realm of mental sound the inner repetition of sacred sounds and the subtle movement of mantra within the mind. We explore how sound travels not only through the voice, but through thought, awareness, and inner perception. Where does sound arise from, and how does it emerge within us as frequency?

    Working with mental mantra and devotional sound, we connect to the wisdom of Krishna and Saraswati, and are introduced to the path of Bhakti. Through practices such as Nyasa, mantra is embodied and woven into awareness, allowing sound to become lived experience rather than expression.

    We enter the Heart as an organ of wisdom. Through sound, we return to intuition, feeling, and the vibrational field of love listening from within.

  • The doorway to Stage 3: Pashyanti the realm of visual sound, where vibration reveals itself through form, symbol, and inner imagery. We begin to see sound, not only hear it, and explore how sacred geometry, yantras, and symbols mirror underlying frequency and intention.

    Yantras and symbolic practices become tools for concentration, stability, and vibrational alignment. Through mandalas, Reiki symbols, and ritual, we trace sound back toward its source where sound becomes intention before expression. Inner images arise through deep listening, refining perception and awareness.

    Guided by archetypal energies such as Radha, Rama and Sita, and Lakshmi, this stage emphasizes beauty as a principle of alignment.

  • his week we enter Para, the transcendent stage of Nada Yoga the realm of the sound beyond sound. Here, inner sound dissolves into the infinite, revealing the unstruck sound, the formless vibration that exists beyond hearing. Through meditative practice, silence, and deep inner inquiry, sound becomes pure presence awareness resting in itself.

    Themes of silence, emptiness, AUM, and Shiva guide this stage, inviting a return to the heart and to stillness as devotion. We move from discipline into surrender, from effort into listening, allowing sound to resolve into silence.

    We complete our journey with a Closing Ceremony, a sacred space of reflection and gratitude. Together, we honor the path we have walked and open to how these frequencies continue to live within us, flowing naturally into our lives and offerings.

    I found Irina’s Nada Yoga course to be such a beautiful and reverential offering an invitation to understand more deeply the energy of sound vibration through the Yoga of Sound.

    Inside the container, Irina guided us through a subtle yet deep dive into ancient primordial sound and its language through the different stages of Nada. We explored the voice, mantra and chanting, and the healing powers of sound as they bring us into remembrance, connection, and unity with our inner resonance — the ‘hum beneath the hum’.

    I feel so much gratitude to Irina for creating this course. In a time when the pull of external distraction can hold such power in our lives, this course felt like a returning — exploring the felt sense of how I personally relate to sound and vibration, and how it guides me towards stillness and inner harmony.

    Irina is an embodied Sound Practitioner who held the space with calm, deep listening, and honouring of Nada Yoga and its essence within us when we come into presence. The meditations and Silent Retreat were especially beautiful too.

    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.

    Liebe Irina,

    meinen herzlichen Dank für die heilsame Erfahrung der Rückbesinnung auf mich selbst während der an magischen Momenten reichen Ausbildungszeit.

    Beste Grüße

    Dearest Irina,
    I just wanted to say how grateful I am.
    As I mentioned in the share, I was a little confused as to what I did next. If anything.
    This Journey came along, and it felt like the Cosmos gave me a gentle nudge and said, this way little human one...


    I found it a little difficult at first, but fully immersed myself in the Morning Meditations. And now (although some mornings I am not fully still) my body, mind and Soul ache for this morning ritual.
    Just a couple of evenings a week I stay up late past midnight and spend extra time listening and practising the Nada. I am hearing more and more. My partner still tries to explain this logically. I tell him, I am hearing the Moon and the Sunbeams and my Heart.


    I have become more Sound Sensitive, but I like this. I crave spending more time in Nature, I am a Taurus Moon so I love, love being outdoors, bare foot, listening to the trees.
    I too will gift myself more space, weekly no tech days and monthly a day in silence.

    Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge.
    Thank you so much for being you.
    Thank you so much for holding us in this beautiful space.
    And thank you to Jair and Eliza for their beautiful contributions.
    I am going to fully immerse myself into the Journey, honouring every small step I take and sharing sprinkles of my practise with others.

    My heart is full of so much gratitude.
    Thank You Irina.
    Much Love to all
