Yes! I understand this one. There are always solutions. One way is to make softer sounds but keep your intention connected to the energetic aspects we are waking up through your voice. You can always hum softly or make internal sounds (and I’ll show you how to do that on the calls).
Another option is to let your neighbors know you’re doing a practice where you’ll be working on your voice, and ask them if it’s OK for you to make some sound! They’ll probably understand (maybe even love it and be inspired to awaken their voices, too!)

If you can be there live - then I highly encourage you to be there! Studies show that people receive significantly more value and content on a live interactive call. Also, each class is uniquely created based on the people present and the energy being created as a group, and you have the opportunity to engage and ask questions. (If you're nervous about being on camera, you can turn your video off. But, we do encourage you to engage with us! :) We can offer you adjustments that way.)
That said, if you're not able to be there for the live calls but you'd like to still participate, we welcome you! You will still receive much benefit from the replays, and you will have access to them when you register. 

Voice practices and qigong are for everyone and are all-levels. They are meant to become part of a personal health and well-being practice. Everyone has a unique expression, and this will empower you to connect with what that is for you.
Throat chakra energy is about the way we express ourselves in the world, and so awakening this energy center through these practices helps us in all areas of life, including communication in relationships, writing, work and career, spirituality, etc. 

These practices meet you wherever you are on your journey, whether you are a professional or a beginner. There is always a new level of depth to explore, and our bodies are constantly changing and adapting to the seasons. 

This is an all-level class, and meets you exactly where you are. Anyone can connect with their voice (either energetically through intention or by phonating) and anyone can connect with the visualization practices offered by qigong, even if certain physical movements are not accessible. Remember, these practices are not just for the physical body, they are also for the emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of ourselves, so you will derive benefit just by being on the call and experiencing the energy!

We’ll approach the practices using techniques from qigong, traditional Chinese medicine, as well as the EmbodiedVoice^R method, which incorporates SVT and YogaVoice^R practices that weave breath, mantra, asana, seed sounds, resonance and alignment principles to awaken the voice. You'll experience a shift in your alignment, power, flow, and vocal resonance. We'll guide you toward developing an at-home practice, providing you with simple tools to awaken your body and voice and help you maintain progress even after the workshop ends.
