Soulful Awakening: a YogaVoice Retreat to Release & Restore

Join us, Barbara and Anna for a transformational and fun week of movement, music and meditation. We have designed a beautiful and varied program of nutritious yoga, healing voice work, song circles, sound healing, jungle jam sessions, reiki, and mindful meditation just for you. There will be beach time, sun time, and lots of YOU time to totally unwind and reconnect with your true, authentic self. This is a week designed for YOU and you get to choose what feels best and most nourishing during each precious moment. Join us in a jungle/ beach paradise to relax, release and restore.

Barbara Leah Meyer and Anna Beaumont have been friends for four decades. Their life and artistic journeys have taken both of them around the globe and into areas of deep learning and discovery. Their musical paths have intertwined many times over the years in numerous ways, in different countries and on many performance stages. YogaVoice represents the ultimate blending of their many and varied skill sets, experiences and combined creativity.

Barbara is a devoted yogi ... as well as a vocalist, instrumentalist, recording artist and music educator. A native of Edmonton, Canada she has entertained a variety of audiences across Canada and throughout Europe, Scandinavia, Japan and the Middle East, as a solo artist, with jazz ensembles, big bands and symphony orchestras.

Barbara’s daily yoga practice has been her sacred place for over 40 years. She loves to incorporate music, singing, energy healing and meditation into her yoga offerings. She brings her love of teaching and wellness to the yoga mat with a focus on stability, strength, balance, mobility, the breath, meditation and yoga as our personal sanctuary. Her vision and passion is providing unique programs and opportunities to nurture body, mind and soul. Barbara has completed her RYT500 and Reiki certifications.

Anna has been studying the voice and its powerful connection to life, harmony and vibration for over twenty years. Her integrative approach combines the worlds of singing, the Chakra energy system, psychology and spirituality to help awaken the natural voice within. She has been called a musical shaman who works “between the worlds” helping you to see what you cannot see, finding the natural and sacred voice that you have inside of you that is innocent, wild and free.

Anna gently guides people to release and uncover their natural voice through building inner and outer connections to their voice, body and emotions. It is at once a celebration of the raw, primal sounds of humanity and the refined, precise beauty the singing voice offers us from other realms.

Anna’s career highlights include “opening” for Dr. Maya Angelou and Deepak Chopra, touring with Mary Wilson and composing various theme songs, including the 2001 World Games and the Western Canadian Breast Cancer Association. She has recorded four CD’s - her latest album ‘The Doorway’ is a celebration of the mystical poetry of Rumi, the singing of which she incorporates in her workshops.

TESTIMONIALS

BARBARA:
Barbara introduced us to the amazing world of Activated Asana yoga, which we were completely new to. We realized the incredible significance of this restorative and safe practice as it provides a positive and healthy guide to our movements. The combination of her voice, diverse instruments she played for us, poetry readings, chanting, and spiritual insights was engaging and joyful. The experience was enriching. The perfect blend of meditation, movement and learning was beautifully orchestrated by her, and she took excellent care of us throughout the entire experience. Thank you.

ANNA:
WOW, WOW, WOW – that is all I can say. What a privilege to experience a master at work. Anna is deeply able to see exactly what each participant needs and masterfully opens up a door for us to all move through. Run, don't walk to anything she has to offer. Thank you Anna. I am very blessed to have found you.
