100-hour Voice Yoga Teacher Training with Linda, Nathalie and Adam
From Sound to Silence, VOCAL YOGA is an inner journey toward oneself
Based on Indian classical music as a science of vibrations and Sanskrit awakening mantras, Vocal Yoga is a powerful yet gentle path of Yoga through melodic and contemplative chanting.
Harmonisation of the subtle centers and brain wave activity, balancing of the physiology and nervous system, a deep-seated feeling of well- being, joy and unity, and sharper sense of one’s essential values and missions in life, are the usual effects reported by participants.
Nathalie and Adam will introduce you to some authentic technique of Vocal Yoga, while Linda will teach you about the healing power of Yoga Pranala and initiate you to Vedic chanting.

Meet the Teachers
Linda Madani
Linda Madani is a Canada-born yoga teacher registered with the International Yoga Alliance (E-RYT 500), a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT) (certified in India and USA), as well as a spiritual healer. She arrived in Bali in 1995, and she got her first certification as a yoga teacher in 2002. In 2009 she opened the Intuitive Flow Yoga Studio in Ubud, which attracts mostly those seeking peace, relaxation, and reconnection to the source. Her teachings include Yoga Pranala, a combination of asana, pranayama, meditation, pranala mudra (Balinese tantra), mantra, hasta mudra, and Yoga Nidra. Linda has received the ancient knowledge of healing from the Balinese shaman Cokorda Rai since 1996, and she integrated it into her yoga practice. As a result, she helped many people in their healing process, slowing down to connect individual consciousness to the source, and to rediscover their spirituality. In 2019 Linda founded Nālandā School of Higher Knowledge and Bhakti Yoga, which aims to offer a more in-depth experience to those interested in learning more about the authenticity and true principles of yoga.
