Each program is taught by experienced practitioners who integrate the physical, energetic, and contemplative dimensions of movement-based practice.

Is Sounds True a good platform for yoga and spiritual practice?

Yes. While Sounds True is best known for meditation and spiritual teachings, it offers a growing selection of yoga, breathwork, qi gong, and body-based healing courses. The Sounds True One membership includes access to a library of yoga and movement content alongside courses in mindfulness and personal growth.

Can I practice yoga at home with an online course?

Absolutely. Sounds True yoga courses are designed for home practice with clear video instruction. Courses are self-paced, so you can practice on your own schedule. Materials include downloadable guides and guided audio sessions you can use independently. Whether you are new to yoga or deepening an existing practice, the courses offer both structured instruction and ongoing support for your journey.

What is yoga nidra and how is it different from regular yoga?

Yoga nidra, or “yogic sleep,” is a guided meditation practice performed lying down that induces deep relaxation while maintaining conscious awareness. Unlike physical yoga postures, yoga nidra requires no movement or flexibility. Sounds True offers the iRest Yoga Nidra Immersion with Richard Miller, PhD, whose protocol has been used in clinical settings with veterans, trauma survivors, and people experiencing chronic insomnia and pain.

What is pranayama and why is breathwork important?

Pranayama is the yogic science of breath control, using specific breathing techniques to influence energy, calm the nervous system, and deepen meditation. Research shows breathwork practices can reduce anxiety, improve focus, and support cardiovascular health. Sounds True’s Pranayama course provides expert guidance in these ancient techniques, making them accessible for both beginners and experienced practitioners.

Does Sounds True offer Qi Gong or other movement practices beyond yoga?

Yes. Sounds True offers courses in Qi Gong, somatic movement, and other body-based practices that complement yoga. The Qi Gong Online Course teaches gentle, flowing movements designed to cultivate life energy, improve balance, and support overall health. These practices are accessible to all fitness levels and can be performed in small spaces, making them ideal for daily home practice.
