breath with the music
Pre-recorded lessons ~ Lifetime access ~ Yoga Alliance Certified

The study of Heart Rate Variability has shown profound benefit for stress management, emotional balance and wellbeing. Slow breathing at just the right speed increases HRV and alters your baseline physiology in a good way.
The lessons are very practical so to graduate we just need to see you teach a 60 min class. This course is recognised by the Yoga Alliance if you choose to register, but it stands alone if your intention is to teach deep yoga classes.
We create music for breathing and this simply revolutionises Yoga. The Soundoves method makes the deep healing effects of Yoga practice instantly accessible by carefully crating therapeutic basics and sequences.
Soundmoves was born from asking the question what if Yoga was redesigned using only the best therapeutic principals. Number one on the list was to incorporate a technique called resonant frequency breathing (aka coherent breathing). After experimenting with existing audio pacers to breathe with I reached out to a producer to create something fresh, thats the sounds! The moves are carefully selected from hatha yoga but also other therapeutic techniques. Read this for a detailed review of all the parts that make up ~ What is Soundmoves ?.
Hi, I am Noah Mckenna. I graduated as a Chiropractor in 2002 but straight away packed up and moved to India because Yoga was always my passion. Ive worked as a Yoga Therapist specialising in musculoskeletal injuries and as a Teacher Trainer with hundreds of graduates. After many years I wanted to get back to Yoga basics in a way that avoids physical difficulty and does not require a belief system. I realised that this would involve taking risks and I chose to tread the paths that require discernment and are evidence based.
Transformational Yoga that tunes the nervous system ~ optimises physiology ~ balances the body
Soundmoves breathing tones the vagus by exercising Heart Rate Variability. It strengthens the healing power of the body to regenerate and recharge. HRV is the key biomarker for longevity and vitality which helps for burnout, depression and anxiety. Coherent breathing creates energy abundance by maximising blood oxygen using the least amount of effort.
HRV connects the Heart-Mind pathway increasing healing Theta waves. Soundmoves music is designed for this purpose. Enter the flow state simply by breathing in time with the music to move beyond worry and negative chatter. Subtle sensation releases oxytocin for pure emotional security and the feeling of safety that comes with trance induction.
In Soundmoves yoga it is not only the Yoga postures its the carefully chosen movement patterns and therapeutic techniques that offers an objective approach to somatic healing. A synthesis of techniques produces a state of grace by networking synergy between agonist and antagonist partners. Free from internal tension and open to the external.
Noah Mckenna has guided hundreds of students to become confident teachers using clear and simple repetition of pre-designed sequences.
Integrating traditional yoga practices with a new potential and yet this is a roadmap for teaching amazing classes which are highly inclusive.
Are you an early adopter, do you like to experiment, do you appreciate science but understand teaching Yoga is an art form? Try the free class first and you will know if this is it.
Soundmoves music was created for the subtle experience of trance. We talk about holding space, this soundtrack is holding time for feelings to land and breath to find rhythm.
So much gratitude for being Noah's student. He has an amazing medical background and one of a kind way of teaching. So precise and caring. Also he has a fantastic sense of humor!!
Thank you so much for sharing the Soundmoves training. Your knowledge is invaluable and teaching inspirational. It has transformed my practice and feel it will transform my teaching too!
Noah is hands down the best teacher I've ever come across. I feel so incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in his 200h YTT in Goa, and will be taking many more of his courses in the future. Noah is literally a living encyclopedia for all things anatomy and philosophy
Noah is authentic and teaches with integrity and from the heart. Highly recommended if you are looking for the real thing!
You have to try at least once. It's so soothing to let yourself be guided by this special music that immerses you into an inner trance. And Noah's voice, like an angel, that helps us reconnect as soon as the mind escapes into thoughts. Noah discreetly gives a multitude of details that answer my questions sometimes even before I even wonder them. A pure moment of peace and happiness.
Amazing and beautiful teacher and the the best TTC you can get. My best life experiences in yoga so far was my teachers training with Noah. Full of integrity and true yoga experience. I would recommend it to anyone.
