About Us
ABOUT THE METHOD
The Heart of Sound is a method for empowered living that draws on the ancient wisdom of sound yoga. The practitioner's goal is to connect with the transformational power of sound and cultivate a more musical response to the world.
No musical or mantra experience is required. While basic musical skill will be an asset to your learning, you need not be a master musician nor wish to become one!
The goal of the training is to provide you with tools to follow the pathway of sound to your inmost radiant Self. If you follow the teacher training track, the goal is to learn to invite others to find their own direct connection.
Anyone with a sincere desire to consistently access their true nature, and express it through their voice and life’s service, is WELCOME.
Learn more by meeting our global community, or hop on to a free, beginner-friendly yoga of sound event soon! (We usually hang around afterwards to chat.)
Between pandemic-related uncertainty, the deep unraveling of the status quo of racism and patriarchy through the #BLM and #metoo movements, the rise of "conspirituality" dividing the global wellness community, and more... we're in an unprecedented opportunity to cultivate a musical response. If you'd like to know where we're at with all that, check out the blog post on Is the Yoga of Sound Relevant for Today's World?.
Perpetuating the source culture of yoga and our musical lineage is an ongoing cycle of gratitude, reverence, and service. Each free or paid course or training features a section on how we're always "paying it forward."
One such project is Mantras for Peace, an all-volunteer effort to inspire people to cultivate peacemaking skills. Browse the always-free resources on our Gifts section.
ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Anandra George (C-IAYT, E-RYT500) is a pioneer in the global yoga community, re-introducing the ancient science of sound as a fundamental wellbeing practice. She created the world’s first Yoga Alliance-registered 200/500 Hour Yoga Teacher Training based entirely on the transformational power of sound -- including Sanskrit, mantra, Indian classical vocal meditation, and compassionate communication for everyday life.
Learn more about Anandra, see an archive of interviews, and view her other projects on the Press page.
American by birth, Indian by soul (according to her teachers! ;)) , and global citizen by expression, Anandra helps people transform their limiting belief systems and cultivate their most fulfilling contribution to the world. An internationally respected mantra teacher and sacred musician, Anandra is frequently invited to teach and lead chanting and kīrtan at the world’s largest yoga festivals.
For more than 25 years, Anandra has been on the path, and has been teaching and seeing private clients globally since 1999. She divides her time between India and Hawaii, and is currently at her tiny home on a mango farm on Kaua'i island, offering a range of teacher trainings, private sessions, and mentorship circles online.
