Vocal Yoga

The Heather Lyle Vocal Yoga Method®

Teacher Certification Program Level I,
will be held again July 20 – 28, 2024

Hi everyone,

I am excited to announce that my patented The Heather Lyle Vocal Yoga Method® will be offered for the 11th time in the summer of 2024. The dates are July 20 – 28, 2024. I will be joined by the incomparable yoga therapist Terra Gold, osteopath Jennie Morton, pranayama and yoga nidra teacher Surendra Mehta and speech language pathologist Melanie Dorn. The class is LIVE ONLINE. The teachers are with you in person and available to answer any question you have in the moment.

We are committed to giving you the best learning experience that we can. We are also committed in providing individual attention to each participant to make sure he/she is advancing successfully and feeling supported in the program. We are continually fine-tuning the materials, so that we can offer the thoughtfulness, care, and support that’s required to assist everyone in becoming a safe and skillful practitioner and teacher. At the end of the course each student will receive a certification to teach the methods learned and will become part of the Vocal Yoga family. There are many students already teaching my methods in academia and in the private sector. We have free continued education sessions throughout the year and I make myself personally available to answer questions on the work and how to start classes. I can’t wait for the training to begin!

– Love, Heather

The voice is a reflection of our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being.

–Heather Lyle

There is nothing more powerful than working with frequency and soma!

–Terra Gold

This certification is for voice and singing teachers, yoga teachers, movement specialists, music healers and sound healers, professional therapists, life coaches, actors, public speakers and anyone who wants to learn a new groundbreaking method to free, train and heal the voice.

You will learn:

Voice Teachers:

The techniques you will learn will fit seamlessly into any vocal method you may teach. If you are not yet a teacher this will give you a foundation to begin teaching. If you are a singing or speech teacher, getting the body to become alive with vibration is game changing.

Yoga Teachers:

If you are a yoga teacher, adding sound to yoga feels like the missing link has been restored.

Sound Healers:

If you are a sound healer you’ll discover that the best sound healing tool is within us, our voice. You’ll learn vocal methods that you can integrate within sound baths or for individual teaching.

Heather Lyle

has been a singer since the age of three and a yoga practitioner since the age of 14. Lyle’s father was a yoga teacher and a devotee at the Sri Aurobindo ashram in India who inspired her to develop a yoga practice. It was inevitable that her two favorite things would intersect. While doing yoga poses Lyle played with singing and making sounds. Astonishingly she felt her voice sound richer and fuller and her breath felt like it would go on forever. She also felt her whole body vibrate with sound and felt that she could direct the sound into different parts of her body; the sounds she made actually changed her body.

The methods will be from

the bestselling book: Vocal Yoga, the Joy of Breathing, Singing and Sounding and techniques coming in the upcoming book: Vocal Yoga II, The Asanas. I am very excited to write that The Heather Lyle Vocal Yoga Method® has now been recognized by the Speech and Singing community as a viable method for vocal health, healing and training. My book and teaching methods were mentioned in The National Association of Teachers of Singing’s academic journal in an article in the May/June 2017 issue, Volume 73, No. 5, pp. 511–518: Vocal Yoga: Applying Yoga Principles in Voice Therapy by Adam Lloyd, Bari Hoffman-Ruddy, Erin Silverman, and Jeffrey L. Lehman. “Heather Lyle incorporates voice pedagogy, yoga postures and principles, directed breathing exercises, and voice science in her work, Vocal Yoga: The Joy of Breathing, Singing, and Sounding. Lyle’s work focuses on respiratory exercises for speech and singing, and also provides examples of speech and singing exercises to achieve a balanced voice production. She incorporates aspects of other popular body alignment techniques and programs in her work including Feldenkrais, Alexander technique, and Tai Chi, among others.”

I have discovered that working with the voice is the missing link after being a yoga teacher for 30 years. If people aren’t making sound, while doing yoga, there’s a whole lot of tension that still gets stored inside. In the Heather Lyle Vocal Yoga Method® you will learn to work with frequency with soma (body), how there is nothing MORE POWERFUL for how to create change and health. On a medical level it has now been traced in so many ways. Tensions get released so much more fully when you allow people to make vibration or tone on sound. Babies and animals do it naturally; they shake, move or reverberate in ways that are needed to release tension and trauma. When you learn how to hone the best of yoga traditions (ancient yoga practices) with the best of modern day science and you experience that at an HLM Vocal Yoga® teacher training, you’re golden! It just opens up so much as a teacher as a practitioner and as an artist. This is the key approach!

This is the planned schedule. It may waiver a bit as we get into the work.

Day one

Morning Session: THE NERVOUS SYSTEM with osteopath Jennie Morton.  We begin with the study of the autonomic and parasympathetic nervous system and the unconscious protective mechanisms of the body. We will address body armoring, the specific muscles of fight or flight and how they affect the breath and voice. We will learn about Polyvagal Theory and how trauma can affect the voice, looking at the body as a whole and discussing where possible holding patterns can develop. Using HLVYM® designed theatre exercises, students will learn how to identify these tension-filled areas in themselves and others. Introduction to the fascia of the body and the idea of the body as a web will also be covered.

Afternoon Session: ALIGNMENT AND HEAD AND NECK TENSION: Body alignment affects breathing so an understanding of the relationship between the two is important to study. We will learn exercises that assist the body in creating proper alignment and undue posture faults using Vocal Yoga yoga strap exercises, Alexander technique, spinal awareness, Brueggers physical therapy, sensing the body, spine walking and Patsy Rodenberg’s state of readiness exercise. Head and neck tension affects the voice but is often unavoidable in life. In the afternoon session we will address stress patterns such as cross body syndrome and learn tension release exercises specifically for the head and neck incorporating stretches and myofascial massage.

Day two

Morning Session: THE VOCAL CORDS: Melanie Dorn, Speech Language Pathologist, will present her slide show on the anatomy and physiology of the Vocal Cords. She will explain phonation, voice disorders and the way to maintain healthy voice use. Melanie will also share how she has uses HLVYM with Parkinsons’ patients. Vocology semi-occluded vocal tract exercises will be explored to stretch the vocal cords the safest way.

Afternoon Session: BREATHING: We will study the anatomy and physiology of breathing (diaphragmatic and costal) and learn how to undue unhealthy habitual breathing patterns to allow the body to find its natural, most healthy way of breathing. All of the muscles of respiration will be identified. Pranayama, Bel Canto and medical respiratory strengthening exercises will be used to open up the whole torso to breathing and identify any areas that restrict the breath. We will also study historical breathing methods as well as popular breathing techniques used today like Wim Hof breathing and Holiotrophic breathing.

ASANAS for breathing: The student will learn specially designed asanas that target all of the muscles used in respiration and extended voice use.

Day three

Morning Session: PRANAYAMA: Learn the ancient art of pranayama from Surendra Metha, a pranayama master. Why we nose breathe for pranayama. The study of nitric oxide release and other activated chemicals and centers of the body through pranayama. The prana mudras and how to use them. What are the nadis and chakras? Surendra is a true gift to the program and will answer all our questions.

Afternoon Session: MYOFASCIAL WEB AND ANATOMY TRAINS: The study of how myofascial tissue courses through the body in different lines or trains and how each anatomy train affects the voice. Explore asanas with sound that open the anatomy trains and thereby open the voice. How does each modification of a different part of the body affect the voice.

Day four

Morning Session: SUPPORT AND VOCAL POWER: We will then study the anatomy and physiology of support and identify the specific muscles to engage vocal power. Asanas will be used to connect the voice to the core and stabilize vibrato. Primal sounding and wailing will be used to release the voice. We will also look at the different methods of support still being taught today and learn a system based on the anatomy and physiology of the voice preferred by voice scientists today.

Afternoon Session: TRAUMA: How to teach trauma informed yoga. ASANAS: Floor and Twists with sound.

Day five

A day off to process material. The course is so packed with information that most students are very happy to have a day off to assimilate material, review videos and rest.

Day six

Morning Session: TENSION: We will uncover the tiny little places of the body that like to engage when we make sound and, if tense, will restrict your voice. As we change pitches, volume and intensity, certain muscles can grab the voice on its journey out of the body. We will go through all these places and learn a series of release exercises to free each part. We will also address trauma and how it affects the throat chakra and learn tools to free open this area. Knowing how to help your clients physically open the throat area can help them heal.

Afternoon Session: RESONANCE: We will explore resonance with tubes, tuning forks, straws and more. The definition of resonance is amplification of the range of audibility of any source of speech or singing sounds, by various couplings of the cavities of the mouth, nose, sinuses, larynx, pharynx, and upper thorax, and, by the skeletal structure of the body. With the use of tuning fork exercises, straw exercises, tube exercises, resonant voice speech therapy exercises, vocalizes, yoga toning and mantras we will explore each resonant area of the body and learn to identify areas that are dormant to sound and how to awaken them. We will discover how to experience the whole body sounding!

Day seven

Morning Session: MORE RESONANCE AND CHAKRA TUNING: You will learn about kundalini energy and the bija seed sounds for each chakra. You will learn how to use tuning forks to activate the chakras and release blocked parts of the body. What are the frequencies that are now deemed the best for sound healing? A set of notes more suitable for the female voice for chakra activation than the commonly used pitches.

Afternoon Session: AIRFLOW: One of the differences between singing and speech is the need to develop airflow, what the Italians called, filar al suono ( to spin the sound). Range extension and airflow sounding exercises will be delved into. Physic based airflow voice exercises to ancient Indian kriyas will be learned to raise the kundalini though the nadis and assist in airflow activation.

Day eight

Morning: PHYSICS OF SOUND AND ACOUSTICS OF THE VOICE: How to teach a therapeutic voice lessons. Vocology exercises from voice scientists Ingo Titze, Johann Sundberg and Brian Gill.

Afternoon: TEACHING: How to create a Heather Lyle Vocal Yoga Method® sequence for a class. Practice teaching.

Day nine

Morning and Afternoon: TEACHING: Practice teaching and get feedback from teachers.

Day ten

FINAL WRAP This is an extra one day class a month later where we come together and share our experiences of teaching the work. Questions and answers and finally, each person will have a chance to teach The Heather Lyle Vocal Yoga Method®. You may focus on what ever aspect best fits your passion. The purpose of teaching is to see if you can articulate what you have learned and put it into practice for yourself or others.

Also there is a final teaching project, which will be a written and or video project.

Testimonials

Working with Heather was the best thing that could have happened to my voice. She helped me on my journey of using my voice to its full power. While I’m grateful for how that had made me a better singer, it’s also a gift that will serve me for the rest of my life in many different areas. As a result of our sessions, I’ve unlocked a new level of confidence within my voice. I finally feel like I can fully express my truth. I highly recommend working with Heather if you want to unlock the power of your voice.

– Jordan Tarver
Motivational speaker

Heather is the super singing teacher.

– Judd Apatow
Producer/Director

The moment I stepped into Heather’s office, I knew I was in good hands. Her extensive knowledge of the voice, intuitive adjustments and radiant disposition allowed me to explore my vocal range, resonance and agility with confidence. Within weeks of meeting, I followed her all the way to Greece for a Vocal Yoga Method retreat and later got certified to teach the method myself. She gave me a sense of direction and purpose at what felt like a pivotal moment in my life. Her passionate and effortless approach to the voice always reminds me that singing is supposed to feel good.

– Jennie Gold
Singer/Songwriter

It’s been 7 years since a life changing, voice approach-changing Vocal Yoga Method workshop with my amazing vocologist teacher Heather Lyle, and I still actively use many of the wonderful methods, voice to whole body connection and even teach several techniques including singing Vinyasa Yoga. What a truly beautiful training program, I highly recommend it.

FAQs

You must read Heather Lyle’s book, Vocal Yoga, the Joy of Breathing, Singing and Sounding and have some experience with yoga.

Yes, we will be recording all the sessions and you have lifetime access to the recordings.

It is four days on, one day off to process the material and then five days to finish.

You will want to attend all the classes as the teachers are amazing and it is really interesting. Nothing is pre-recorded so it is really nice to be in the virtual room with the teachers and have the opportunity to ask questions, but if you have to miss something you can discuss it with me.

The course is pretty much everything you need to know to be a holistic singing teacher as well as the intersection of yoga and singing. We show the teacher how to view the whole body as the singing instrument as well as incorporating the best vocology techniques Lyle has learned from Ingo Titze and Dr. Johan Sundberg. Voice therapy exercises are also incorporated in the work.

This certification is for voice and singing teachers, yoga teachers, movement specialists, music healers and sound healers, professional therapists, life coaches, actors, public speakers and anyone who wants to learn a new groundbreaking method to free the voice and heal the body.

We begin by looking at the body as a whole and seeing where there are places in the body that are being held, limiting breath and vocal expression. First we look at the autonomic nervous system and see how it affects the body and then we look at the body as a large myofacial web and see where the web is locked or unnecessarily tightened, creating tension in the body that will affect the breath and voice. We use yoga poses, myofacial release exercises, physical therapy exercises and a myriad of things I have learned in my 40 years studying voice and yoga and movement for singers to free the voice. We also study the latest information on the larynx and vocal cords and some of the best, new voice science tips for better singing.

The yoga we learn is a series of yoga asanas from Hatha yoga that I have adapted for voice work. Terra Gold is a yoga therapist and ERY-T 500 that teaches the yoga portion. She is one of the best yoga teachers I’ve ever known. We use each posture with primal voice use. When I do a class it is more like an Iyengar class with sound although I have a flow series that can be used as well.

There are also adaptations for people who are not physically fit and we address injuries. The purpose of the work is to free the voice, find its authentic power source and its best resonance, not do the best yoga pose you can.

We keep the class small enough so we can keep our eye on each student and we have adaptations from yoga therapy for people with injuries.

I’ve presented the HL Vocal Yoga Method® and Racking® for NATS, VASTA, The Voice Foundation and PAVA and they all loved it. I was set to present at the Australian VASTA Conference but it got canceled due to COVID.

You can do the work in a class setting or in an individual lesson. The work is also fun and I have used  it with people aged 12 to 80. Just before Covid hit I did a Vocal Yoga class for a high school choir conference and the teenagers had a blast.

You receive a certification in HLM Vocal Yoga® You are then listed on the Vocal Yoga website and are recognized as a certified teacher among the NATS, VASTA and PAVA communities.

    Dear Heather,

    Your teacher training program has been a dream of mine for a while. I am delighted that you are offering this online as I’m UK based it makes it more accessible. My name is Marianne Samuels, I’m a voice teacher and recently qualified yoga teacher (spoken voice). I trained at Royal Central School of Speech and drama in London back in 2005. Vocal yoga is something I’ve been playing with for a while but I’d love to learn more. I love singing but I’m not a singer. Pitch has always been an interesting area for me and recently my chakra 5 has been out of balance with thyroid issues. I’d love to be a registered teacher in your methodology to bring it to my location in the UK. Would you have me enroll? Are there spaces left?
