~ Philosophy make you groan?
~ Can’t relate to ancient gurus and dusty texts?
~ Yearning for insights relevant to your life today?
​

Join San Francisco Bay Area-based teachers Richard Rosen and Ann Dyer for this entertaining, experiential afternoon that will benefit both your practice and your everyday life. Together, Ann and Richard will lead you through a mind-opening enquiry through the poetic lens of the ancient Upanishads that still hold the power to inspire and illuminate our lives today.

Richard will shed light on the history and understandings behind the Upanishad’s maha vakyas (“great utterances”), reassuring, easily remembered, statements that affirm our identity while that providing us with seeds for seated meditations as well as  "mini-meditations" we can call on throughout our day.  

Ann will follow, leading us through beautiful chants and meditations in their original Sanskrit to bring to life for each one of us the answer to the core question for every yoga student: Who am I?

Expect to leave feeling a little more clarity of mind, lightness of heart — and just maybe — at peace with who you are.

​

 "Very deep...left me with a feeling of coming home." - pascale
​

When yoga came to the west in the 20th century the sound practices that were an intrinsic part of the  yoga tradition were set aside, and asana came to the fore.  For this reason, few yoga teachers today realize the central place sound has held in yoga since its beginnings over two thousand years ago.  Only recently have 21st century yogins begun to rediscover these ancient sound techniques as simple, quick, and easy tools to support their modern lives — and they are eager to learn more.   

"This course has opened a whole new dimension in my yoga practice. The beginning of a lifetime journey and beyond!" - natalia

The benefits of SOUNDYoga are easily accessible to everyone, but like any form of yoga, practice is made more profound with understanding of underlying principles, alignments, skills and practice. In this Summer Sound Yoga Course students will learn how to skillfully access the power of sound to lighten the heart, clear the mind and create connection.  Through sound studies we will also learn about yoga philosophy, key yogic texts, the aural culture that gave birth to yoga, and so much more. ​
