A yoga class for your voice! Opening the Voice is a fun, expressive vocal journey that incorporates song, exercises & mantras while introducing students to the Indian musical system of Raga. The “Opening the Voice” workshop has been co-developed by Vocalist Joss Jaffe whose extensive background in both Indian and Western music makes him uniquely suited to bringing this type of singing to students of varied musical experience and backgrounds. Joss creates a safe space to explore your voice with frequent one-on-one attention.
Whether you want to become an accomplished singer or just more comfortable with your own unique voice, this class is for you! As a first time beginner and or an experienced vocalist, every single participant will benefit from this workshop. All levels welcome.
“Joss Jaffe gives a joyful, powerful workshop that allows students to experience the beauty of their voices – even those of us with fears and insecurities about singing! The vibration was so high we practically floated out, feeling as if we could sing with Krishna’s gopi’s, making beautiful music. Joss is truly a gifted teacher.” ~ Renée Tillotson, owner of Still & Moving Center

Testimonials
“It feels like a natural marriage: Mesmerizing and uplifting aspects of Sanskrit chant laid over hypnotic beats and bass lines that comprise dub reggae rhythms … it seems obvious now that this unique musical combination works tremendously well” – LA YOGA
