"Chanting on retreat with Anandra was truly a high point of my life. I've done a LOT of spiritual retreats and sound experiences, but hers - and the community of chant lovers in the Heart of Sound - really blew me away!"

Why Sound Yoga?
The eternal thread that connects creation with the creator is sacred sound. All mystic traditions concur, and the direct, tangible, blissful path of pure vibration is accessible to all!
No dogma promised, and no experience required; this retreat is simply an invitation into the heart-opening, timeless practices of mantra and music.
Communion
Find your heart's voice and sing in our daily devotional mantra and music sessions!
You'll experience sound as a vibrant connection to Self, and understand how it transforms all aspects of your being.
Empowerment
Learn sound-based yoga skills to begin, refine, or enrich your home chanting practice!
Our practices support you to develop voice culture, Sanskrit mantra pronunciation, and a musical response to life.
Rejuvenation
Listen to what's deeply alive in you as you tune your precious body instrument.
You'll practice tools for self-regulating your nervous system for physical, emotional, and mental health.
Chant Retreat Typical Outcomes
What to Expect Day 1-7 (and beyond) on a Heart of Sound Chant Retreat!
Day 1
Settle in, calm your nervous system, begin to feel safe in the heart of the sound and listen in to what is truly alive in you.
Day 2
Deep digestion of the accumulation in your mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies especially. A sense of relief at what feels like a purge, a lightening of the load in a profound way.
Day 3
Joy and lightness, luminosity, as your true being begins to shine through your voice with less hindrance than ever before. Radiant smiles blooming across your face unconsciously.
Day 4
Lots of laughter as the connections with kindred spirits ripen. A deeper sense of settling into empowerment as direct personal insights into the power of sound yoga prove to be consistent.
Day 5
Wonderment and gratitude at the ease of profoundly whole sense of Self + Spirit + Life. Unraveling and unburdening from perfectionism.
Day 6
Notes of longing as you realize it's almost over. Deep savoring of the preciousness of the practice and the community. Anchor the concepts and skills for ongoing personal empowerment.
Day 7
Celebration of integrity between heart, mind, word, and embodiment. Confident return to "normal" life, equipped with a strong internal pathway of connection to the unbroken songline of your deepest, truest self: the living pulse of the heart of sound itself.
Post-retreat [for 200/500HR teacher trainees]
A sense of relief as you dig deeper into the treasure chest of online practices, transformation topics, skill refinements, etc. (it's not over, it's just the beginning!)
Renewed inspiration and motivation to refine your own practice (and chant leadership, so those in your sphere of influence can benefit also)
