Overview
Throughout your days, you are constantly exposed to sounds, and for most of it, you do not notice that you are almost always physically responding to the sounds around you. What you do realize when you consciously listen is that sounds, music, and vibration are affecting your mood and your entire nervous system is responding.
Sound healing methods are ancient and used in many traditions, but nowadays they have become more and more of interest in the modern-day wellness scene. There is a fascinating field of study that dives into the ways that sound and vibration are affecting you all the way down to a cellular level.
The Yin yoga practice with its long-held still poses offers the perfect mediative space for this experience. The Yin and sound teacher training program shows you how to use Yin yoga combined with sound as a therapeutic tool for promoting physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Your Yin yoga guide in the course, Manuela Sauter, will collaborate with selected international artists from various backgrounds to offer you a wide range of Yin and sound healing experiences. Hear from these artists about their approach to sound healing and get to know their instruments.
They also had the opportunity to invite Sanj Hall, an internationally renowned sound artist, to lead some of these sessions with you. He likes to call himself a traveling Gong yogi, who has taken a divine order or “Hukum” to spread the goodness of the eternal sounds to the world.
Sanj will share some insight into the theory of holistic resonance and its teachings. Irina Di, Gong Master, will give you gong baths where you can feel the powerful vibration of sound in every cell of your body. Irina will teach you how to play the gong and singing bowls yourself.
To complete the journey into yoga and sound, you will also have an introduction to mantras, bhajans, and kirtans.
What you will learn
Experience Yin and sound healing
There is the “yoga of sound,” called Nāda yoga, described in the Hatha yoga Pradipika as one of the most powerful and efficient meditation techniques to still the mind. In this Yin and sound module, you will cover the study, theory, and practice of both, sound healing and yin yoga.
Experience Yin yoga healing sessions with your teacher Manuela Sauter in collaboration with a variety of selected musicians and sound healers. Listen to their various instruments, such as singing bowls, gongs, tuning forks, chimes, flute, didgeridoo, harmonium, or handpan, combined with the practice of Yin yoga, yoga Nidra, mindfulness, and meditation.
The sound of these instruments provides an immersive, full-body listening experience that can recalibrate your system and create a Yin yoga therapy space for physical, emotional, and mental healing.
Sound waves produce subconscious activity in the brain. You can think of sound waves as aural units of measurement, each of these units enters through the ear and into the brain where a chain reaction of psychological and physiological changes can be observed.
For example, you have experienced that when a song makes you nostalgic, it produces certain psychological shifts in your perception, right? There is a physical component to the way sound waves interact with your brain.
Each sound wave must be inspected by the brain and turned into neural information and with it comes a wide array of action potentials that swarm around to make sense of it. Combine these interactions with the slow pace and passiveness of Yin yoga, you have the perfect backdrop for a healing experience that can help to reduce stress and promote relaxation.
Sounds are not just heard by your ears but felt through your entire being. Sound healing also taps into the power of vibrations to reach every part of your body. Theories suggest that stressed-out or diseased cells change frequencies, and develop discordant vibrations from the rest of the body.
Sound healing may help cells operate in harmony once again. Through sound, rhythm, and frequency, you can enable your brainwaves to down-shift your normal beta state, the waking consciousness, to a relaxed consciousness in the alpha state, and reach the theta meditative state and even delta (sleep), where internal healing occurs.
Potential benefits of sound healing
- Encourages deep relaxation which aids in meditation
- Balances blood pressure and heart rate
- Activates the brain to chemically release natural opiates
- Can lead to reduced anxiety levels, tension, sadness as well as diminished pain
- Synchronizes brain waves to restore the normal vibratory frequencies of cells
- Aligns, awakens and balances the subtle energies in the body

Sound healing compliments the Yin yoga practice by invoking the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress, and helping the body to ultimately gain a sense of peace, calm, and presence to ultimately recalibrate your cells to shift from ‘lower frequencies’, slowing down and relaxing the mind and body, towards ‘higher vibrations’ to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.
Learn to play singing bowls
During the course, the students will explore and practice how to create Yin and sound yoga sessions and learn to play singing bowls themselves.
Singing bowls are musical instruments used in meditation and spiritual practices, originating from the Himalayan region of Nepal, India, and Tibet. They are typically made of bronze or brass and have a round, bowl-like shape with a flat bottom and a rim that can produce sound when struck or played around with a mallet.
They produce a rich, harmonic sound when played, and are often used in meditation and mindfulness practices to help calm the mind and bring a sense of inner peace.
In traditional Tibetan culture, singing bowls were used by Buddhist monks for religious ceremonies and meditation practices. Today, people all over the world use singing bowls for wellness and spiritual practices, as well as for music and sound healing.
Singing bowls come in various sizes and designs, each with its own unique sound and energy. They are used for sound healing and therapy, as sound vibrations are believed to have therapeutic benefits for both the body and mind.
Sometimes bowls are tuned to specific musical notes or healing frequencies, generally, they are used to create a harmonious soundscape for meditation or yoga practices. Students are recommended to have their own singing bowl set of a minimum of 3 bowls (available at the training as well).
Yin yoga foundations
While Yin yoga is a wonderful practice by itself, in combination with sound healing you can transform the practice into a multi-sensory experience. For a solid foundation for your practice and teaching, Manuela will introduce you to the practice of Yin yoga according to the principles and components, following the foundations laid out originally by Paul Grilley, Sarah Powers, and Bernie Clark.
The consideration of an individual skeletal structure, functional alignment, and working with ‘yin tissue’ to not only stretch but also strengthen them requires quite some ‘know-how’ to dive into. You will learn how to address the physical benefits, safe ways of guiding into poses, and intelligent sequencing principles according to anatomical requirements and energetic aspects.
In Yin yoga, you work with the ancient healing wisdom of the Taoist philosophy, the meridians, and the chi flow in the body. You will get to know all the main meridians and different ways to activate and address them in the yin yoga practice.
Transforming a Yin yoga class into a yoga healing experience needs skill and practice, so there will be the opportunity to practice teaching yourself. Mindfulness principles provide insight and guidance for the practice. Learn how to integrate mindfulness, connecting your body to a Zen state of mind to create the space to allow energetic and physical healing to take place.

Location
Ubud is Bali’s prominent art center, famous for its painter’s community. But Ubud is special in more ways than one. You will find emerald green rice fields in the stunning central Balinese foothills, the village also used to be the center for medicinal sources.
It has its own magic, and its particularly beautiful surroundings and gracious way of life have drawn travelers and artists from all over the world in recent decades; some have even adopted Ubud as their own home.
The magic is easy to find – just take a walk south of the village through its terraced paddy fields to the monkey forest. Freshwater spouts out of the sheer rock at the base of the ravine, and a bath in a secluded, shady spot is purifying.
Suly has a long history of hosting spiritual gatherings and this energy can be felt in the peaceful, tranquil surroundings and the many little temples spread throughout the spacious tropical garden. It is a quite unique and truly inspiring spiritual location and a perfect setting for a Yin yoga immersion.
At the same time, it is also very centrally located and as soon you leave the gate you find yourself in the middle of the buzzing local Balinese life not too far away from the Ubud center.
It is a 1-hour drive from the Ngurah Rai International Airport and a 10-minute drive from the Ubud Monkey Forest and nearby places like hospitals, clinics, restaurants, and museums, and art galleries.
