Event Overview

Your voice is a powerful tool for cultivating radiant health, abundant power, and focused energy.

The fabric of the world itself is comprised of sonic vibration - from nature to the cells in your body to the words you say to the thoughts in your mind. Creating specific intentional sound, can help you uncover your authentic voice and connect with your ability to create, change and direct the flow of your own life.

In this class, we will explore the therapeutic benefits of vocal techniques from classical Indian music, Sanskrit mantra (repeated words or phrases with specific vibrational properties), chakra energy, yogic pranayama (breathing exercises) and guided meditation.

Practical applications for the techniques in this class include:

Improved singing, speaking, and listening skills
Relief from physical, mental and emotional stress
Confidence in public speaking & presenting
Awareness of your energy levels
Mental focus
Self-esteem & personal power
Release of creative blocks
Healthy breathing habits
Vibrational healing
Fun, play, creative expression!

No previous music, singing, or meditation experience needed - just an open mind and willingness to explore the potential of your own voice. We will sing as a group, which adds the benefits of community, connection, and support to the experience.


What to Bring

Bring your smart phone, tablet or recording device so that you can take the exercises home. Repetition is an easy success key for deepening the benefits of the practice.

Andrea Klunder is a healer, teacher and singer who works with the body, mind and spirit with an integrated approach custom designed for each client. She has many years of experience practicing the healing arts of music, hatha yoga, meditation, Thai Bodywork and Reiki and views teaching as a spiritual practice. She has worked with everyone from total beginners, to babies, to young women in developing countries, to celebrities like actress Diane Lane.

A true entrepreneurial yogi, Andrea was the director of a yoga for women’s health program at a major medical facility for 2 years, boutique yoga studio and spa owner in Lincoln Park for 5 years, and has led yoga teacher trainings and retreats in Chicago and abroad. Currently, she is one half of the duo behind Mindful-U, bringing you sustainable happiness through coaching, meditation, and mindfulness (www.mindful-u.com) and the Director of InfuseLife, offering yoga, bodywork, meditation, music and yoga teacher and leadership training (www.infuselife.net.)

To satisfy her appetite for music and the arts, Andrea founded the Kirtan Chicago Meetup, connecting like-minded souls in the practice of Bhakti Yoga (the yoga of devotion, music, and dance), and the Chicago Women’s Creative Collective Meetup, bringing women from all forms of expression together to share and celebrate their work and support the creative process. And most importantly, she loves singing kirtan as much as humanly possible.

“I believe that nothing in life is an accident. Everything happens as a result of your actions, your choices, your karma. Your karma is linked to everyone else’s and we have a collective responsibility to live in such a way that builds ourselves up, builds each other up and holds our entire global community up to the light that glows within us. Every choice matters and you can tap into an infinite source of wisdom, love, and energy to help guide you in making the best possible choices in this one precious life.”

    I've been to three voice & mantra classes with Andrea.
    Each time I learn something new. Her space is lovely
    and she makes you feel right at home. She's extremely
    knowledgable, funny and skilled at what she does.
    I've been practicing the lessons at home, and have
    noticed a great improvement in my voice.
    Highly recommended!
