What is the Yoga of the Voice Certificate? FAQs
Unlike any other continuingprogram, the Yoga of the Voice Certificateis designed as both, a formative and a mentoring curriculum of practices and recordings, that integrate the discipline of yoga with contemporary techniques of chanting, sound healing, music therapy, improvisation, and voice development as a gateway to connect with the student’s true energetic potential.Through the courses and assignments, students discover scientific, intuitive, and creative ways to address any vocal impediment, while learning new skills to build a solid repertoire and sound healing practice.

VOX MUNDI's integrative view involves: Body-Mind-Spirit & East/West/North/South wisdom sound science in the approach to sacred, contemporary and unusual vocal and sound arts, with cutting-edge international faculty.
