WHY THIS TRAINING IS LIKE NO OTHER...
The science and the spirit get equal weight. Polyvagal theory and psychoacoustics on one side, the shamanic and energetic lineage of soundwork on the other, and neither one apologising for the other.
We teach digital and electronic sound in a healing context, which almost nobody else does, and it is the thing our graduates say opened the most doors.
We are 100% confident that our training delivers the most complete, competent and creative sound pratcitioners out there.
Here's why...
Our training is COMPLETE - we look at sound healing from it's full range of roots and instruments, not just sticking to one philosophy or narrative. You'll learn way WAY more than just Tibetian bowls and the Himalayan tradition.
The course bends around who is in the room. There is a syllabus, because accreditation requires one, but the shape of your week is decided by the ten people who turned up.
Your facilitator has crafted her own proprietary method - we're not interested in teaching you cut-and-paste formats and protocols. Nobody does what we do. You won't sound like anybody else, or find yourself drowning in a sea of similar offerings.

Our proprietary sound training sits far beyond the constraints of phrases like 'sound healing' or 'sound therapy.' A truly multidimensional, prismatic journey through sound as art, music as medicine, and the science of vibration, our one week deep immersion will truly transform you, your practice, and your future.
Built to take you a very long way in seven days, Foundations gives you an expansive, wide-ranging sound healing toolkit through a bespoke approach to group training that softly moulds the content around the people in front of it and what they came for.
Whether you are moving towards becoming a sound practitioner, want to fold sound into something you already teach like yoga or breathwork, are building confidence on skills you have half a grasp on, or are simply a curious explorer ready to go deep into cosmic mystery and sound science, this course was designed with you in mind.
Our training is unique in it's multidisciplinary vibe. What makes sound so effective and so applicable to modern life is the way it speaks to ancient and futuristic themes at the same time, and to the physical, psychological and energetic body all at once. Your learning is balanced across the spiritual, energetic and shamanic background of soundwork, counterweighted by a deep focus on its scientific basis, which takes in mechanical and quantum physics, polyvagal theory and neuroscience.
The science and the spirit are then fused with a core of real musicality. You start at the basics of music theory and move through psychoacoustics, digital technology, and the craft of delivering something creative, artistic and genuinely skilled. Sound is not a set of nice noises made in the right order, nor is it random intuition and swaying around in front of crystal bowls - and by the end of the week you will hear exactly why, and be able to deliver your own unique interpretation of sound healing.
Certified by IPHM as well as the Complementary Medicine Association, this programme gives you insurable accreditation worldwide. You'll depart the training into a graduate community that stretches across 20 countries with mentorship, apprenticeship and collaboration routes waiting when you want them.
All of it happens here at Yoke, in Agonda in South Goa, which is a considerably quieter proposition than the noisy north of Goa. You'll train in the jungle shala, eat in the cafe, the sea is about two minutes away, and the rooftop is where the journey actually lands, in daily evening sound sessions. Morning yoga is available if you want it and we have a day off halfway through to allow you time to integrate and reset.
What you will learn:
* How to play 15+ instruments
* Deliver 1:1 sound sessions
* Learn to craft your own group sound journeys
* Integrate sound with yoga, reiki, breath and other modalities
* Electronics & DJing for sound practice
* Discover how to start and grow a business in sound healing
* Enhance your intuition and neurological awareness
You'll also:
* Receive 1:1 support and personalised guidance for your sound career
* Connect with likeminded people and grow lifelong connections
* Become part of a global community of graduates
... as well as embark upon on your own transformational personal development journey and so, so much more.
On this course you'll learn to play gongs, crystal bowls, Tibetian bowls, monochord, tuning forks, handpan, shruti box, air chimes + an array of additional instruments, as well as cue and mix digital sound and integrate classical and contemporary musical instruments into your sessions.

WHO THIS IS FOR
This course is designed for everyone.
YOU ARE A CURIOUS EXPLORER
You're a seeker, fascinated by all things cosmic and sonic. You're curious to deepen your understanding of both the science and the spirit of soundwork.
YOU ARE ON A PERSONAL HEALING JOURNEY
You're looking to supercharge your efforts and your learning, and take your self-inquiry to new levels.

YOU ARE A WELLNESS PRACTITIONER
You are already used to holding space or teaching. Maybe you're a certified yoga teacher, a reiki master, or a bodywork specialist. You love the idea of adding a splash of sound to your offerings.
YOU ARE A MUSICIAN OR SOUND HEALER
Our training is curated so that even if you arrive from a place of experience, you'll find a new flavour to get stuck into.
Our graduates include breathworkers, yogis, chefs, entrepreneurs, nutritionists, psychology students, social workers, graphic designers, fashion stylists, accountants, advertising directors, corporate strategists, school teachers, marketing executives, classical musicians, CIC founders and more, and they have joined us from the UK, US, Canada, France, Germany, Denmark, Portugal, India, Lebanon, The Netherlands, Suriname, Australia, Malaysia and of course India to name only a few.

JANIE EVERETT
@_silenceandnoise_
Yoke's founder Janie is a Sound Practitioner with 10+ years experience in delivering transformative soundscapes and 12+ years of teaching experience encompassing sound, yoga, meditation and Reiki. Janie's methods are centred on the alchemy of science and spirituality, centring the intersectional nature of wellness.
A sound practitioner & teacher trainer, yoga teacher, Reiki master, author and founder of retreat venue Yoke Goa, Janie is originally from the southeast of England, but has spent most of her adult life in a work pattern that has had her bouncing between places such as the US, France, Spain, China and now India. Working at the intersection of neuroscience, psychology and energetic practice, she designs immersive sound experiences that invite deep nervous system recovery, altered states of awareness and lasting personal transformation. Her approach has been shaped as much by a lifelong fascination with consciousness and psychdelia as it has by an encyclopaedic musical range that reaches from classical to techno via grunge, drum’n’bass and everything in between. Her path is inextricably linked to her own experience of brain tumour, breakdown and corporate burnout; the totality of which has produced a methodology that is both scientifically informed and intuitively led. A classically trained musician, Janie composes richly layered sonic environments that move a long way past the conventional sound bath. She mastered gong with the pioneering British sound healer Sheila Whittaker, and trained in sound therapy with the College of Sound Healing as well as extensively in the Nepalese Himalayan tradition and 1:1 with sound masters across the globe. She has also studied DJing and music production, and was an early adopter of digital sounds in the healing space. Her particular interest is the impact of sound on PTSD, chronic stress and anxiety, ADHD and the neurodivergent experience. Janie has worked full time in sound since 2017 and has practised yoga for over twenty years. She is a senior yoga teacher, an Usui Reiki Master, a certified neuroscience coach, and holds a trauma-informed practice certification. She is Director of Sound Science at CH2 Foundation, a Pune-based non-profit bringing holistic methods to the frontline of modern medicine in partnership with India's Ministry of AYUSH, and Global Brand Director of Raaha Wellness. Her book, The Healing Power of Sound, was published by David & Charles in 2024.
GUEST FACILITATORS
Janie is pleased to welcome an eclectic mix of collaborators and friends from her professional network, each delivering modules on their niche specialisms and skills. It's also an absolute pleasure to welcome some of our graduates to speak to students about their experiences and what they've created with the training we shared.

THE YOKE PHILOSOPHY
So many courses are promoted promising that you will become a teacher and sound healer instantly or ‘today'.
We just don’t believe that’s deliverable, or true.
Becoming a memorable, impactful, safe and confident facilitator is a lifelong process, and our trainings are all about honouring the individual that YOU are rather than creating rapid-fire cookie-cutter graduates delivering identical sessions. Our founder and facilitators have become known for their work exactly BECAUSE of stepping out of the traditional, refusing to do the same as every other school, pushing against the programming, and cultivating identity built out of experience.
What we are offering is an unrivalled level of depth, detail, and creativity. Our courses are unique in their composition, creation and delivery. You won't leave feeling like you've just been spouted out of another identikit training, just one of a bunch of people stood in a photograph in matching outfits holding matching certificates.
You'll leave knowing that you have just experienced a completely unique, unrepeatable journey, one that will forever be held sacred between you, us and your classmates.

“This past January I took the 50 hour sound healing training with Janie at Yoke, Agonda. I had already taken trainings with other teachers but was looking for more knowledge and a better understanding of the science behind it.
And what can I say... Janie definitely over delivered. You can quickly tell she truly loves what she does and has been doing it for a long time. On top of that she knows how to share all of it in an easy to follow way. The training was well structured, in a small group so there was always time for questions or to spend more time on topics our group was particularly interested in.
Janie has a big array of instruments that we could try out, and on top of that a couple of guest teachers were invited to talk about other instruments. Seeing and hearing other sound facilitators was such a huge plus for me personally because it shows there are many different ways to offer sound and it's about finding your own unique way. Janie was/is an excellent guide and even after the training she's always been available for any questions we have. I'm very excited to keep studying with Janie and would definitely recommend her trainings/workshops/classes!”

FAQ
IS ACCOMMODATION INCLUDED?
Not in your training fee. Accommodation starts from €250 for the week and is booked and paid direct with Yoke Goa and you can choose from three room levels with options for a range of budgets. We do ask that you stay onsite. A residential group holds itself, forges connection and keeps our timekeeping honest, and after an intense 8 days you will be glad you did not have a commute. If you live locally on a long-term basis we can accommodate you as a day student at the training rate alone.
What if i have already completed a training elsewhere?
All are welcome. We feel that our training offers many points of difference to everything else out there - we’ve had many people with multiple other trainings under their belt join us, and everyone has discovered something new. There’s always more to learn, and a large part of our process is drawing out the unique gifts and journeys of every individual in the training
ARE MEALS INCLUDED?
Breakfast and lunch are included, served at our onsite cafe which is fully vegetarian and used to catering for a range of dietary requirements. Dinner is NOT included. We will host a closing night beach dinner (food on this final night IS included), but for the rest of the evenings we suggest you go and check our amazing array of 100+ local restaurants - we’ll share our list of faves with you.

People sometimes get confused, so here's the clarity!
Yoke Goa is a physical space, retreat venue and sound studio.
Janie - aka Silence & Noise - is Yoke Goa's founder and owner. She designed to site to be a space that could host her own sound trainings, as well as those of other facilitators.
So Yoke Goa is the venue that HOLDS Silence & Noise - which is a brand name that specifically holds not only Janie's proprietary sound healing trainings, but also her events, research, writing and mentorship programmes that exist OUTSIDE of Yoke Goa.
When you come and train at Yoke, you'll mostly be doing a training that Janie is leading or co-hosting. Yoke is occasionally hired out to third party facilitators who book the venue to host their own trainings, but we don't market these specifically as Yoke offerings, they are under the remit of the guest host.
