The Yoga of Sound w/ Mackenzie Alistar

This Summer Solstice workshop will explore various dimensions of Nada Yoga, the Yoga of sound. It is a ceremonial sound meditation journey that includes gentle movement, an hour long sound bath, silent meditation, toning, and mantra to help us access the profound mysteries of silence and sound.

This workshop will explore various dimensions of Nada Yoga, the Yoga of sound.

As Irena Sterna puts it, “Nada Yoga, translated as “Unity through Sound,” is not just a practice but a journey into inner harmony, where sound serves as a bridge to spiritual consciousness.”

This soundbath and meditation will welcome the Summer Solstice in community, embracing the longest day of the year together.  

We will begin with 10-15 minutes of gentle movement to help us arrive in our bodies. From here we will enter into a vibratory journey (sound bath) into the realms of tibetan bowls, crystal bowls, handpan, flutes, didgeridoo, harmonium, guitar, drum, chimes, bells, rattles, voice, and other sound healing instruments. This will flow into a more participatory soundsploration in which we will unite our voices in toning and mantra. We will have slow time at the end to process.


This is a great opportunity to rest, relax, come back to yourself, and meditate on the nature of the universe.
