ABOUT THIS WORK
An exciting exploration of our personal sounds.
Through the exploration of your own sounds and ways of expression, you will embark on a personal journey that will lead you to a better relationship with yourself and a more balanced and mindful life.
This workshop is a presentation- initiation to a holistic voice work approach, a first step to finding our own path in Musicality and vocal expression.
The work can include stretching, movement, dance, body alignment work, and relaxation.
The immediate practical results of this work are a stronger less restricted voice and contact with greater sources of imagination and means of expression.
Contents of the workshops:
Body-breathing exercises, Voice training, Improvisation with voice and movement, Voice journeys for discovering and developing the voice, and topics around the voice
Elena will guide you to self-expression and the discovery & development of your own unique voice.

Her work is mainly inspired by Roy Hart Theatre (Certificate in RHT voicework) and Vocal Toning in combination with her longtime knowledge and experience in various alternative therapies along with her intuition, empathy, uplifting attitude and a good sense of humour : ) She's also a certified Shiatsu practitioner and Reiki healer.
A passionate traveller, she has been to many countries, attended numerous Workshops on Personal Growth and Art Therapy with inspiring teachers and artists. Later, as a voice trainer herself met and has been working with different lovely people (especially women in their middle adulthood) throughout Europe in groups or individually.
