Soothing Vocal Toning | Voice Yoga By The Ocean

This is the second video in the series, 'Voice Yoga By The Ocean'.
Explore the calming power of your own voice with this gentle Mmm-to-Ahh vocal toning practice.
We begin with the soft vibration of “Mmm,” then gradually open the sound into a relaxed “Ahh.” Notice how the sensation changes as the sound moves from a closed hum into an open vowel.
There’s nothing to achieve and no singing ability is required. Use a comfortable pitch and volume, and allow the breath and sound to remain easy.
This simple Voice Yoga exercise can be used as a calming pause during your day, before meditation, or whenever you’d like to release tension and reconnect with your breath and body.
Recorded by the ocean for an added layer of natural calm.
Vocals by Vicki Hansen from IndiaJiva

Namaste and good morning here. Just before sunrise on the beach. And I'd like to just start by honoring the traditional ancestors of this land. Of this beautiful land on which we are doing our vocal yoga this morning. They are the Gwego people. And I am in now called Sutherland Shire which is south of Sydney. Thank you. So today we're going to do some beautiful vowel sounds, Just the mm and the ah sound. So the idea is to move the sound from the head and down into the body. So you don't have to be a singer for this, Just allow the sound to move from the head and into the body and feel those sounds. We're just going to start with a very beautiful deep breath. And a big sigh, Letting go of everything you might be holding onto. Big deep breath in. And let it go going straight into our sound. What the. . . Thank you so much for joining me. It's been wonderful to share this morning vocal yoga by the beach with you. My name is Vicky. And my musical group or duo is called India Jeeva. So check out some of our music in some of our tracks. Namaste.
