Sacred Sound Stage at IYF 2021
March 7-13, 2021
At the world-famous International Yoga Festival, hosted by Parmarth Niketan in Rishikesh - this year ALL ONLINE!
Sacred Sound Stage - A Service Project of the Heart of Sound
In 2017, Anandra and a team of volunteers from the Heart of Sound 200-hr RYT started offering the Sacred Sound Stage at the world-famous International Yoga Festival Rishikesh. It has become such a favorite for many festival-goers to nourish their subtle “sound bodies” that often our classes are full with a line outside the door!
With Pujya Swamiji’s blessings (the spiritual leader of Parmarth Niketan Ashram), we create an opportunity for the yoga of sound to be showcased among the other aspects of yoga. Since sound is the yoga that affects ALL of the bodies (including and beyond the physical), the Sacred Sound Stage offers many aspects of a sound-based practice, including:
Nāda Yoga Experiences
Sanskrit Mantra Workshops
Sound Healing (using crystal bowls, gongs, medicinal tuning forks, etc.)
Yoga of Sound Workshops
Medicine and Sound Workshops
Kīrtan and Devotional Chanting
Because it's just before our annual 5-Day Retreat into the Heart of Sound and the 200-hour Teacher Training, often students return year after year to volunteer at the festival, present workshops, and sing in our "Soul Food Family Kīrtan Hour" during the festival.
