About Voice Mind Body - Karen Lane

My priority as a teacher is to keep you mobile and safe whilst also playing your edge so that you gaining strength, flexibility and courage to try new things. I returned to a more mindful movement practice (yoga) to help me navigate grief and the intense demands of parenting my three daughters often alone. Through Yoga I discovered a sense of calm, resilience and improved ability to regulate emotions. These are just a few of the benefits. As a professional singer and voice specialist, I have long known the importance of breath but as a yogi have truly come to deeply understand the benefits to mind and body. My advance training was with Rasa Yoga Collective, studying with Sianna Sherman and Greta Hill. This is tantric based yoga practise which incorporates deep dives into mudra (healing hand gestures) mantra (chanting sacred Sanskrit) and is focused on welcoming the whole individual on this alchemical journey. Embracing ourselves, the light and the dark all emotions (Rasas) without judgement. Rasa Yoga has helped me to combine my strength and align fully with my Dharma using voice as healing medium integrating chanting into the practice. Exploring the connection of breath, voice and body and utilising yoga as a form of mind body transformation for all. I recently trained in sound healing and can bring the benefits of Crystal and Himalayan singing bowls and other instruments to groups and individual sessions.
