Sound Therapy Teacher Training

100-HOUR SOUND THERAPY + MEDITATION TRAINING

``The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.`` - Carolyn Myss

Therapeutic sound is now being studied throughout the West for its unique ability to make the listener feel better overall. As it grows in popularity, so do the number of scientific studies proving its efficacy. ONEYOGAHOUSE has hosted Sound Meditations since we opened our Brooklyn doors, as we believe in integrating the nuances of pranayama, sound (also known as nāda yoga), and meditation to bring fresh perspectives and richness to this growing community.

Join us for our first ever in-studio Sound Therapy + Meditation Training at ONEYOGAHOUSE. OYH Founder and teacher Anna Haddad, along with sound practitioners Brittany Simone Anderson, Mattan Sharvit, Jessica Caplan, and Florencia Fridman have created a 5-weekend, in-person training (with online supplementary lessons and study guides). This training is for those who are seeking to infuse pranayama, vocalization, and sound meditation into their teachings and self practice, as well as for those who are aspiring to work alongside sound therapists with a depth and exploration that standard classes cannot provide.

This training will take you to the next level of coming home to yourself and creating a transformative yoga practice and experience that will last a lifetime towards self healing and growth.

This is a hybrid offering. We meet in-person every Saturday and Sunday April 1st- May 7th. Additionally, you will have access to pre-recorded virtual lectures to complete during the week.

What if I have to miss an in-person day of training?

We prefer that you don’t miss any days, as time has been strategically planned out. However, life happens. If you think you are going to miss a day, please let us know as soon as possible, and we will do our best to accommodate your absence, but we will not be able to make up more than 2 sessions.

Will I receive a Sound Therapy certification?

Yes, you will receive a certificate of completion from ONEYOGAHOUSE. As of now, there is no governing body equal to Yoga Alliance for therapeutic sound; however, our program is facilitated by leaders in the field of sound and yoga therapy and is a well-rounded course.

Our students are invited to attend sound therapy and meditations every Friday evening, followed by 2 full days of class on Saturdays and Sundays.

Your Teacher: Mattan Sharvit


Mattan’s journey to lead sound has not been a conventional one. Unlike his yoga teaching, Mattan started to lead and hold space from a peculiar coincidence, from a sore place that was soon replaced with joy. He found himself naturally leading sound ceremonies, playing with the heart, feeling with each vibration.

His journey is reminiscent of the stories of his dear teachers, Colleen, Rodney, Sharon, and others who found their way to yoga by accident: one day, they found themselves in front of their class, and they knew – they were going to be yoga teachers. Mattan’s mission is to support the unraveling of the secrets of the Universe through vibration, frequency, and energy.

A graduate of the Open Center’s Sound and Music Institute and Grammy award-nominated artist Silvia Nakkach’s Yoga of the Voice certificate, Jessica has guided over 150 students in sound immersions she co-founded and led at Maha Rose in Brooklyn and in the Hudson Valley (Sound School), and Pure Yoga in NYC (Sound Yoga Therapy for Prema Yoga Therapeutics). She’s a regular guest teacher for yoga and sound trainings, among them Sage Academy of Sound, Brooklyn Healing Arts, and Abby Paloma’s Restorative Yoga TT’s at Yoga Vida and Sky Ting Yoga in NYC.
