“First, we will bring attention to the breath and also the regions of the jaw, neck, ribs, and abdominal muscles... notice whether you hold... notice and get curious....”
I am not flexible. Can I still do it?
Yes, absolutely. To Move with the Voice sessions/workshops are perfect for you. Come as you are.
Why is the word embodied added at the beginning of voice and yoga sessions?
The reason is to stress that truly anyone is welcome. Sometimes the word yoga comes with certain expectations, and the word movement is too broad for our sessions. Therefore, the word embodied offers a space where we are encouraged to remain present with our experience when connecting our voice, body, mind, self, and the world around us. This space allows us to feel and be curious (rather than achieve particular standards or aimlessly follow instructions).
What is the pace of the embodied voice and yoga sessions?
These are slow-paced sessions. Slowing down helps us to let go of the need to control, identify areas that need more attention, feel less stress while accomplishing more, become more present and receptive, and create a deeper connection between our voice and body. However, each session encouraged us to move at our own pace.

What if I am running late?
Online and in-person: Plan to attend your class early. This will give you time to change, settle on your mat, grab your props, and relax. Unfortunately, I cannot accommodate clients (online and in-person) who arrive 5 minutes after the start of the session (unless they messaged me) because they may have missed the introduction and warm-ups. Warm-ups prepare the body and voice for the session. Missing warm-ups increases the risk of injury. Therefore, it is not safe for anyone to jump right into practising. No refunds will be issued once the session/workshop begins.
What if I made my booking in the last minute?
No worries. An email containing all essential information will be manually sent to you shortly. However, if the booking is made 2 minutes before the beginning of the session/workshop, a confirmation email cannot be sent, and your payment cannot be refunded because I need to focus on welcoming the group. Therefore, the last booking that is accepted is received 2 minutes before the start of the particular session/workshop.
Do I need to bring anything with me?
Online: yoga mat/blanket, small pillow, water bottle, and comfortable clothes
In person: Yes, bring a bottle of water and wear comfortable clothes (a text familiar enough to recite, such as a monologue, poem, song, or a few sentences of your choice – not necessary for your first session).
* yoga mats and props are available in the studio / free of charge
** I recommend refraining from eating 2 hours before the workshop and ensuring that you are hydrated 2 hours before the session/workshop starts.
Why are there no recordings of the workshops/sessions?
The reason for this decision is that the participants who join are present and ready to work. They are prepared, and the environment around them is set up to get the most out of the work. Therefore, the results are more powerful. It creates the feeling that we are all together in one room.
What is your cancellation policy?
A no-cancellation policy. Fees are non-refundable. That said, your ticket is transferable. Therefore, if you cannot come, you can send someone in your place. In this case, please email me the name of the person.
PS: An email containing all the details will be sent manually after your booking.
Participation in the To Move with the Voice project is undertaken at the individual's own risk of injury or loss.
