VoiceYoga

Our voice is our mouthpiece into the world. It enables authentic expression and communication with others. At the same time our voice mirrors many of our beliefs, it's not beautiful enough, sounds squeaky, clatters, stammers, strikes a false note etc.. We're standing in our own way blocking our free expression. VoiceYoga opens a space for us to explore our voice and the body-voice connection playfully. To leave old beliefs behind that don't serve us and embark on a journey of discovery. Both voice and body are anchors in the present and show us the way to being free. VoiceYoga is the combination of yoga poses, breathwork, holistic voice work and mantra singing. On a physical as well as energetical level we're connecting our abdominal force with the heart (chest voice) and the head (head voice). This sets free our potential. In VoiceYoga we're humming and buzzing, toning and singing, screaming, laughing and listening to silence. We experience how body and sound influence each other. Sinking deep into our own vibration, finding our inner voice.

Spreading Our Wings – Yoga for free breath

Yoga connects body, mind and soul. In this yoga session we focus on the lungs. A nice flow and twists help us to spread our wings in all directions and bring new life to those corners of our lungs that we have neglected. We explore how the new found inner freedom of our breath effects our thinking and feeling and how spreading our wings lifts our being into higher spheres.

Amelie Quack

sees herself as a bridgebuilder between people and worlds, between body and mind, thinking and feeling, between the obvious and the hidden potential. She studied psychology and cognitive neuroscience in Munich and Australia. To balance out this overly intellectual training she got onto the path of yoga. Here she learns to listen closer to her body and sense finer and finer. In yoga she also discovered how much she enjoys singing and that she can touch people's hearts with her voice. In her work she connects the different pieces of her path: Mind, body and voice. She opens up spaces for people to meet themselves and others in a playful and free way – using the voice and body. She's based in Munich, teaches yoga and VoiceYoga there and at festivals, leads singing circles and gives concerts. Besides she writes for the blog "God Says No Underwear" and as a Feelgood Manager gets business people onto the path of mindfulness.
