You will learn how to play and place the singing bowl directly on the body,
how to vocal tone (or tune) the body, play HandHeld and Standing Gongs, Shamanic drum, Rainstick, Koshi Bells, Tubular Bells and Sansula. Explore the ancient pathways within the heartbeat of these instruments as we organically and lovingly weave these skills, learning how to facilitate and hold Sacred Space, create your Sound Bath and/or enhance your personal/professional practice.
We will explore the magic of Vocal Toning, how we can scan the body using our voice … a vocal MRI scan!! We'll rediscover the joy of singing together as we share Mantra and Chants, and loose inhibitions as we improvise with music and voice.
Experiencing how beautiful it is to connect and evolve within an ongoing Sacred Sound Community …

Who is this training for?
Anyone interested in an introduction to combining Sound Healing, Mantra and Song within their Yoga/Holistic practice and/or class;
musicians who wish to add a healing dimension to their compositions;
anyone wanting to learn how to use Singing Bowls, Drums, Chimes, Hang and Rainstick;
and those wishing to enhance their quality of life and healing through the use of Sound Therapy.
The course will consist of the following:
Singing Bowl Chakra Placement
Placing the Singing Bowl on various Chakras, we will learn how to sing the Bowl with ease while balancing directly on the body, allowing the depth of vibration to resonate and release energetic stagnation. This method of healing with sound has an extraordinary effect on the body, and will play an integral part in our workshop.
Chinese Wind Gong & Paiste Gong Playing the hand held Wind Gong over the body’s energy points or Chakras … gently close to body. Create Gong sounds to fill the room using the standing Paiste Gong.
The Art of Vocal Toning
Using pure vocal tones, the body’s natural tuning instrument, we will learn how to clear the Chakras and instil a healing resonance throughout the body, by “signing” or “toning” healing sounds directly into the body’s “sonic aura”. Explore your voice using Vocal Toning, which massages your voice into pure and powerful tones as you develop the art of tuning the body on a cellular level, these vocal tones resonate with the body’s molecules, balancing and releasing blockages, clearing and balancing the Chakras.
Shamanic Drumming
Connecting to our heartbeats through Shamanic Drumming, we’ll explore the gentleness of heart rhythm, expanding into movement.
Sound Bathing
Sounds actually become physical; its vibrations coursing through every cell, tuning the body on a cellular level using sacred sound. These vibrations resonate with the body’s molecules, balancing and releasing blockages. Learn how to choreograph and facilitate a Sound Bath, using these magical instruments and vocal techniques.

What students say ....
“I have only the highest praise for Anne Malone and her course on Sacred sound! It was one of the most enjoyable and beneficial courses I have ever attended. I learnt so much from but also, at the end of every session I felt so rested, like I had been on a little retreat! Anne has such a warm heart and a brilliant sense of humour which made everyone attending feel so comfortable and made it such a great experience! I can now confidently give a full sound bath but also have lots of little tricks to bring into my yoga classes especially during Savasana to make it even more relaxing for my students. If you are thinking of attending this course, don’t hesitate, you will enjoy every second!” Julie C, Sacred Sound Teacher Training, Feb 2020
