In Depth
Advanced Sound Practitioner Training (Level 2)
YACEP (50 Hr)
20 Hours In-Person Immersion
+ 30 Hours Guided Personal Sādhana & Professional Integration
Advanced Sound Practitioner Training
Depth is not found by adding more. It is revealed through listening more deeply.
Level 2 is a three-day (20-hour) in-person immersion for practitioners who have completed Level 1 with us, or an equivalent foundation training, and are already working with sound or preparing to begin.
The three days focus on four areas: your voice, your musicianship, the way you cue and hold a room, and the professional foundations of your practice. This is followed by a guided 30-hour personal sadhana, supported by a workbook, recorded voice practices, listening meditations and integration exercises that allow the learning to continue long after the training has ended.
The training is held in a small group so there is time for each person to play, be heard and receive individual feedback.
Level 1 gave you the foundations and your first sound journey. Level 2 is where the craft becomes more refined.
Our trainings are offered regularly in Zurich, Switzerland at Soulcity Zurich and Sri Lanka at Senses, allowing practitioners to join us in both Europe and Asia throughout the year.
Inside the Training
In Depth is for practitioners who feel ready to move into refinement. Together we deepen the relationship with voice as an instrument, exploring breath, range and toning alongside alankaras—traditional Indian melodic exercises that cultivate precision, musicality and confidence.
We explore deeper music theory and the architecture of an immersive sound journey, refining your playing and your relationship with a wider family of instruments. Alongside the practical skills, we turn our attention to facilitation itself: learning how language lands in the body through skilful verbal and somatic cueing, meeting the inevitable challenges of holding space with greater clarity and discernment and receiving direct feedback that supports both your craft and your growth as a practitioner.
The training also includes guidance on growing and presenting your work professionally, so you leave with the confidence and tools to share your offerings with studios, retreats and future collaborators.
The Building Blocks
-
The Voice
Your voice is your most personal instrument.
For many sound practitioners, the voice is the least explored instrument. Throughout the training, we develop the voice through breath, resonance, toning and alankaras—traditional melodic exercises from the Indian classical tradition that cultivate accuracy, range and musical sensitivity. From there, we explore how the voice weaves with the shruti box, harmonium and singing bowls, allowing it to become a natural and integrated part of your facilitation.
-
Applied Music Theory
Harmony, rhythm & musicality
A deeper understanding of music allows for greater freedom in how we play. We go further into intervals, harmonic relationship and rhythm, not as notation, but as the reason one combination of sounds feels coherent and another does not. You will build sound journeys with intention: where tension sits, how it resolves, when to leave space.
-
Deep Listening
Listening is at the heart of this work.
Drawing on the principles of Nada Yoga and contemplative listening practices, we cultivate the ability to hear more deeply. This practice is woven throughout the training and continues to unfold during your personal sadhana.
-
Instrument Lab & Playing Technique
Refining what your hands already know
Extended hands-on time with focused feedback. We refine technique on crystal and Himalayan bowls, widen the range of instruments you work with & practise layering so each sound has a place. All our instruments are avaivable but if you already have your instruments, bring your own set. Much of the value here comes from working with the instruments you will actually use.
-
Embodied Facilitation
Cueing & Facilitation
How we speak shapes how sound is received. Through dedicated practice, we explore verbal and somatic cueing, refining language that supports your work. We also explore the realities of facilitation and blockages. Throughout the training, you'll receive direct feedback on your facilitation, supporting your confidence and your continued growth as a practitioner.
-
Conscious Business
Sharing Your Work
Throughout the training, you'll develop a Presence Deck, a professional portfolio that brings together your facilitator profile, your offerings and the way you communicate your work. Refined through feedback and completed alongside your sadhana, it becomes something you can confidently share with studios, retreat centres, collaborators and private clients.
Your Presence Deck
Throughout the training, you will create a Presence Deck, a professional portfolio that brings together your facilitator profile, your offerings and the way you communicate your work.

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺
-
Yes. While sound healing is generally safe and beneficial, there are certain conditions that may require extra care or medical advice before participating. These may include:
Recent surgeries (especially within the last 3–4 weeks)
Serious cardiovascular conditions (e.g. pacemaker use)
Severe or unregulated mental health conditions
Epilepsy or history of seizures
Pregnancy (especially in the first trimester)
Sound sensitivity or auditory conditions (e.g. tinnitus, hyperacusis)
If any of the above apply to you, please contact us before enrolling so we can guide you appropriately and ensure the training is safe and supportive for your unique situation.
-
Level 2 builds directly on the foundations established in our Level 1 Alchemy of Sound training. Completion of Level 1 with us is therefore required.
If you have completed a comparable foundational training elsewhere, a personal call with us is required prior to registration. This ensures that you have the necessary grounding in music theory, facilitation basics, and nervous system awareness to fully benefit from the advanced material.
Level 2 is designed as continued education, not an introduction.
-
Yes. Many participants join Level 2 while already practicing professionally.
This training is designed to refine your technique, deepen your theoretical understanding, strengthen facilitation skills, and elevate your professional clarity. It is particularly valuable if you feel ready to move from intuitive facilitation toward more intentional, structured, and advanced work.
-
Level 2 is intentionally held in a smaller group setting to ensure depth, individual attention, and meaningful feedback.
We keep the group size limited to 8 - 10 perticipants, so that each participant has space to practice, receive personalized guidance, and refine their facilitation skills in a focused and supportive environment.
This structure allows for a high level of interaction, mentoring, and hands-on experience essential for advanced training and professional development.
-
While we provide instruments during the training, we strongly recommend bringing your own set, especially your primary instruments.
Level 2 focuses on refinement, precision, and strengthening your personal relationship with your instruments. Working directly with your own set allows you to deepen familiarity, responsiveness, and tonal awareness in a much more personal way.
If you’re unsure about your current setup or are considering upgrading or purchasing a set, we’re happy to offer a consultation to support you in choosing instruments aligned with your practice.
You can find curated Sets of Singing Bowls in our Online Shop. As A student you have a discounted price.
-
Yes. None of it is about performance or having a good voice. It's technical — breath support, range, accuracy — and it starts wherever you start. The alankaras are practice patterns, not songs.
-
Cancellations or changes can be made four weeks before the course starts. Please note that the downpayment of 400.- is non-refundable.
If you cancel less than four weeks before the course begins, the full course fee is due, and no refunds or date changes will be possible — for any reason, including medical issues, emergencies, or personal circumstances. This policy applies equally to all participants to ensure fairness and to support the planning and integrity of our offerings.
By completing your payment, you agree to the general terms and conditions of the course.
We strongly recommend that you arrange cancellation insurance, in case you're unable to attend or complete the training.
-
Not at all. The deck describes where you actually are — a recent graduate writes that they've completed Level 1 and facilitated their first sessions. That's a truthful, usable document. It's inflated claims that damage a young practice, not modest ones.
-
A structured 30-hour practice you take on after the training, with a clear daily outline covering guided vocal work, deep listening and your own sound practice. You'll receive the full framework on the final day.
-
Your spot will be confirmed once the downpayment has been successfully completed.
-
Yes, you will receive a certification of participation. This course is Yoga Alliance certified and can be added to your account.

Co-Founder Soulravel
Jonny has spent the past decade teaching yoga across retreats, festivals, and trainings worldwide. Raised in a musical family, he felt early on how sound can soothe, awaken, and mend. But the industry’s ego and burnout pulled him away from that truth. An injury and the disorientation that followed brought him to yoga in 2009. As his body recovered, he felt something larger recalibrate: breath steadying mind, presence softening the edges of life. He knew he wanted to share that pathway with others.
Since then, Jonny has worked with many students and learned what the body keeps teaching: healing is personal. He brings clear anatomical understanding, but values curiosity over perfection, inviting people to explore, adapt, and trust their own pace. His gift is creating safe, unpressured rooms where emotions can move and expression feels welcome.
Music never left; it matured. Today Jonny weaves years of sonic training into sound healing journeys and facilitator trainings, offering sound not as performance but as medicine: predictable, grounded, and deeply human. With reverence for lineage and a light touch, he encourages a life lived bravely and kindly: meet fear with breath, forgive often, love without keeping score.

Co-Founder Soulravel
Natalija is a yoga teacher (RYT+500) and certified sound practitioner whose work has always been guided by healing and human connection. Before teaching full-time, she spent years in social work, earning a Master’s degree and witnessing, up close, the resilience and tenderness of the human heart. Yoga arrived as devotion rather than hobby; it gave language to what she’d felt all along: practice can change how we relate and live.
After years of studying and teaching yoga, somatics opened a new chapter. It asked a different kind of question: not How does the pose look? but What do you feel? In many traditional classrooms, the space to truly sense: slowly, curiously, without performance can be missed. Natalija’s work leans intentionally shifted toward that space. She teaches people to meet sensation as information, to listen for the small yes/no in the body, and to let awareness, not ambition set the pace. Through movement & sound, she helps students attune to their inner landscape.
Music has always been the heartbeat of Natalija’s life. Drawn to the healing potential of sound, she studied instruments and ancient modalities in India alongside their modern applications. Crystal bowls, Himalayan bowls, harmonium, voice each became a way of offering medicine. Together with Jonny, she composes and plays improvised soundscapes, creating grounded, spacious fields where participants can truly receive.
What continues to inspire her is the simple courage people bring to practice, showing up as they are, again and again.
