Release the Voice: Therapeutic Singing
How does yoga practice support communication? Release the Voice is a program of gentle movement and guided vocal exercises to empower students to explore their voices, whether used for speech or singing. Through practice during sessions and at home, students will find greater health and expression in the use of the voice as an instrument. This course is a Swan River Yoga original.
Each session will shine a light on the foundational ‘mechanics’ of vocal production, taking the mystery out of singing and offering practices that build strength and flexibility.
Expect gentle movement, vocal exercises guided by harmonium, and call-and-response singing.
Online recordings of the simple daily exercises will be available to participants for all of Fall 2025, with opportunities to provide feedback and ask questions. Each session will have its own exercises and reflection exercises. For those who are looking for more individualized support, private 30 minute online check-ins to review the exercises and discuss any vocal challenges can be scheduled.
Can’t make it? Each session will be recorded with a link sent within 24 hours. Please note, this course is IN-person with a recording sent afterwards.
Background: Keith is a Board-Certified Music Therapist (as of January 2025) with certifications in Neurologic Music Therapy and Hospice Music Therapy, who brings decades of singing study and professional musical experience to this offering. The Release the Voice program is designed to help students, teachers, and therapeutic professionals experience emotional release, clarity in communication, and whole-self empowerment through voice work.
