Step into an immersive journey where sound, meditation, and mindful practice come together in Mysore. This training by YogaKulam Academy blends ancient healing traditions with contemporary sound therapy methods, inviting you to develop inner calm, emotional steadiness, and energetic balance.

The approach is experiential from the start. Rather than focusing on theory alone, the course combines guided study, hands-on practice, and direct application so you can learn to use sound as a meaningful tool for healing and self-discovery.

Course Overview

This holistic program introduces the science and practice of sound therapy through guided meditation, sound instruments, and mindful breathing. You will explore how vibration affects the mind, body, and subtle energy systems.

5 Days | 50 Hours | Foundational Training

About Level 1 (5 Days | 50 Hours)

Level 1 is a focused foundational training designed to help you understand both the principles and practice of sound healing. Over five intensive days, you will build a strong base not only in instrument work, but also in presence, listening, and holding space. The training explores how vibration influences the nervous system, brain waves, and emotional states, while introducing frequency, resonance, and entrainment.

This level includes:

Foundations of sound and consciousness
Nervous system basics and trauma-aware awareness
Introduction to instruments such as singing bowls, chimes, voice, and basic gong understanding
Playing techniques and sequencing
Structuring a 45–60 minute sound healing session
Ethics, safety, and space-holding principles

Daily practice is part of the learning process, with time spent both giving and receiving sound so the experience becomes embodied, not just intellectual.

By the end of Level 1, you will be able to:

Confidently play core sound healing instruments
Understand how sound influences the body and mind
Design and facilitate a basic group sound meditation
Hold a safe and grounded healing space
Begin offering introductory sound healing sessions

This level is well suited to beginners, yoga teachers, wellness practitioners, therapists, and anyone who feels called to work with sound as a healing modality.

What Makes This Different

Many sound healing courses concentrate mainly on instruments. This training goes further by integrating:

Nervous system science
Trauma-aware facilitation
Energetics and presence
Structured session design
Embodied practice

Because playing a bowl is easy. Holding a room of 20 anxious people is not.
