No singing experience necessary. Beginners will learn to build technique from vocal power to resonance. More advanced singers will finally understand how their voice works and eliminate tension and bad habits. The class covers vocal anatomy and physiology of the voice and techniques for healthy singing. Heather Lyle's Vocal Yoga is a synthesis of 25 years of singing experience with techniques from Yoga, Chi Gong, Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, The Bel Canto School of Singing, Roy Hart Extended Voice Work, Fitzmaurice Voicework, Sanskrit chanting, gospel and jazz improvisation. The class is loads of fun and not scary, I promise!!

Is your voice limiting your potential for success?  It doesn't need to.  Learn how to use the body correctly to power the voice so that you never vocally fatigue again.  If you dislike the sound of your voice you can change it.  You are not stuck with the voice that you were born with.  You can change the tone of your voice and find your own best, most beautiful resonance.  For more information, check out the speech section of this website.


Vocal Yoga One Day Workshop for Kirtan Singing at Bhakti Yoga Shala
Date pending, 2012
1:45-3:45 pm
Bhakti Yoga Shala
Click on: www.bhatiyogashala.com (Govindas and Radhas' Studio)
207 Arizona Ave. (at 2nd St.) Santa Monica, CA 90401
This is a pay by donation class

Most yogis, without a little instruction, will not use their voice correctly and vocally fatigue during long kirtans. Learn to transition effortlessly from speech into toning and singing and realize the truth, that everyone can sing. After a Vocal Yoga workshop, the voice will never get in the way of a blissful Bhakti yoga experience again.

Community Sing Along
I am staring a community sing along class once a month in Venice starting in March at Aanand Saagar Yoga Center.  The class will be on the third Friday of the month, every month. This will be a drop in class where we will begin with a vocal warm-up and then sing songs together.  Singing truly creates community and we will sing a variety of pieces (like the Beatles, gospel) and songs suggested by you.
Venice location to be announced
Pay by donation $5.00
