Tales of Transformation
Our mission is to promote and support healing and wellness in the world,
through the transformative power of the human voice.
When a voice is balanced and resonant, it communicates wellness. It connects with the listener. It soothes something inside them. It heals.
When I founded YogaVoice® in 2010, it stemmed from a deep belief that the human voice has the power to heal both the singer and the listener. In the years since, that belief has evolved to say that our voices are part of the bodymind’s innate self-repair mechanism for wellness.
Vocal technique is always meant to empower freedom of artistic expression, regardless of pedagogical differences that singers may encounter. As a student, I was fortunate to have learned a technique built on “functional efficiency” in singing. However, I soon encountered the stress and personal imbalances that typically accompany the rigors of a performing career, and technique alone was not enough to maintain vocal health. As I began to learn and practice yoga, I realized that it is a unique tool for holistic vocal wellness - not just for stretching or physical alignment, but for stress relief and energetic integration. I see yoga as a practice that helps us feel safe, aware, and free to express ourselves without obstacles, by realigning imbalances that restrict vocal freedom.
YogaVoice® views the bodymind as a vessel for establishing whole-person balance, and the voice as a path to healing.
This work has helped hundreds of singers, teachers, and voice professionals turn vocal confusion, anxiety, and self-doubt into clarity, confidence, purpose, and expressive wellness.
Take Diana, for example. A former high school teacher who came to YogaVoice® to work on her singing voice, she didn’t just experience improved vocal function; she discovered her power, which allowed her to transform other aspects of her life. Today, she runs her own coaching business, using her voice with presence and purpose to serve others on their wellness journeys.
“Since beginning my work with Mark, my life has transformed in the most amazing ways. I am able to advocate for myself with confidence and grace. I am able to set boundaries and clearly ask for what I want. I am able to speak and sing in front of large groups and enjoy the experience because of the skills I have developed. I am now living my best life and coaching others to do the same.”
Wherever you are in your journey, such a transformation is possible for you, too.
