The Body is a Message from the Universe

One of four Masters of Shintaido in the world, a Core Team facilitator with The Naked Voice since 1995. Following the direction of Hiroyuki Aoki, the founder of Shintaido (New Body Way), Masashi has researched and taught this martial art form for 30 years.

Shintaido is internationally recognised as embodying the healing arts through movement, in ways which combine Eastern spirituality with Western creative expression.

Masashi’s teachings invite us to play, move and express ourselves in the world in new ways in which we could never imagine possible.

Join Narayani on this journey of exploration of our own voices through the mediums of chant, mantras and spontaneous sound.

Through the voicework you can deepen your connection to your voice, open your heart and access the sounds that come from within. By using the voice, without any need for previous singing experience, we will help develop confidence and explore how it can be used as a heart opening tool, leading to self healing and self expression and can help to transform emotions leading us to a place of inner peace.

Meditative and ecstatic chants are led by Narayani’s deeply resonant voice. Sanskrit mantras are set to beautiful, yet simple, melodies. Kirtan is an ancient and effective yogic practice of singing together to open the heart and connect to the self. The chants are easy to pick up and give a wonderful opportunity to discover the power of your own voice.
