Sound & Silence

Join us for a transformative 5-week Introduction to Toning/Meditation in Storrs, CT

Join us for a transformative journey in sound and silence, where you'll discover the profound power of your voice, breath, and intentionality. Our Sound and Silence Toning/Meditation class offers a safe, nurturing space to strengthen your voice, quiet the mind, and tap into your inner healing potential. Whether you are a seasoned meditator or new to toning, this experience is for everyone.

Together, we will explore the joy of sound through simple practices that make it easy and accessible to enter vocalization, connect with your body, and feel the vibrations of sound as energy. Our practices help to quiet the mind, open the heart, and align your intentions with your inner desires, bringing healing to both yourself and others.

In a circle of togetherness, we’ll create a space of community and shared presence, where you can experience sound as a path to joy and stillness. Through mantra, breathwork, free toning and silence, you’ll enhance your capacity to stay centered, boost your energy, and cultivate a deeper sense of inner peace. The class also integrates relaxation techniques, breath re-education, and moments of silence to help ground your experience and create a sanctuary of well-being.

Come tune into your heart, release what no longer serves, and emerge feeling lighter, more connected, and empowered. This is a space of love, belonging, and expression for all. Let your sound guide you to healing, and let the silence hold you in peace. 

No prior experience is necessary. You DO NOT need to be able to sing or match pitch, you are encouraged to use your voice and ears. We look forward to sharing this beautiful journey with you!

    Benefits of Toning

• Stress Reduction and Enhanced focus

• Toning calms the mind and relaxes the body, reducing anxiety and tension.

• Focusing on sound and breath sharpens mental clarity and improves concentration.

• Emotional Release and Physical Healing 

• Vocal vibrations help release emotions and tension, promoting emotional healing and peace.

• Vibrations stimulate cells and tissues, supporting healing and reducing pain.

• Improved Breathing and Vocal Quality 

•  Controlled breathing during toning encourages deeper, more mindful breaths, improving lung capacity.

•   Regular practice strengthens the voice, improving resonance and clarity.

• Mind-Body Connection and Community Connection

• Toning enhances awareness of breath and sound, deepening the mind-body connection.

• Practiced alone or in groups, it fosters a sense of unity and harmony

What to Bring:
Ideally, you'll be either standing or seated in a chair for toning, or in a meditative posture on the floor. Bring whatever makes you most comfortable—whether it's a meditation cushion, blankets, yoga mat, or anything else. Please bring water in a lidded container. We'll have options to drop down into relaxation/savasana, or stay in seated meditation at the end, so a pillow and blanket are so lovely for this. Our space is open, full of light and air, and has comfortable chairs that support a healthy seated posture if you would like to use them. Children are most welcome, provided they can remain engaged for the 75-minute session.
