During the chanting at the end I started to tear up and then cry! I initially tried to suppress this, but the more I chanted, it just came out. I was embarrassed at first, but at some point, I just let it go. You then asked that people reach out to others and a few people reached out and touched me. Which was calming (thank you for that).

I can't put into words how deeply your class affected me. I am a singer, drama teacher, and performer. Now a full-time stay-at-home mom. I forgot how much music, movement, sound, and expression was me at the core. I want to do what you are doing! You have seriously inspired me.

I have been practicing yoga just over a year now and I practice 4 to 5 times per week. I have added morning chanting meditation and due to that I was interested in your class after reading the class description about vibration and using mantra for purification of the 5th chakra. I have never been able to sing. But in your class, you invited us to allow ourselves to step away from the inner critic and step out of our comfort zones.

I don't know if you know the depth of your words. Sometimes, when I see you and we connect, even for a moment, your words penetrate my heart and stay with me for a very long time. You are such an inspiration and I know that when you talk and take time to express something to me it is valuable. Thank you, Suzanne.

Suzanne, you have rekindled so many thousands of souls, year after year, including mine. Your voice is the most healing and heart-opening I've ever heard on stage or CD. You are the lighthouse of Bhakti Yoga. All blessings to you bright spirit.

Suzanne's work in the world is about creative and passionate embodiment. She works from the inside and out and the outside in over the course of her classes. She is a force. She is also compassionate and loving. What she brings to my life and the world is truly original and life-changing.

My prayers are being answered. My goal is to help men and women too, especially from emotional and physical abuse and all the forms that encompass. Much healing, forgiveness, love, and empowerment is needed.

I am still processing and recovering from this incredible weekend! Everything you said spoke to my soul, and I don't think I've ever felt so connected and overwhelmed by love and the awareness of the present moment as in our "soup of sound." The whole workshop truly was transformational and insightful. Thank you for facilitating these life-changing breakthroughs for me and I'm sure for many others.

The bottom line is.. I wanted to rock this with my throat chakra wide open and you took me to a new place. I hadn't realized how stuck I was! Also... after your class, my sinuses and ear congestion felt completely cleared! I have not felt that unstuck in ages! You are a brilliant shining light sister. Thank you for sharing the light! From the truest place in my heart... NAMASTE!
Cindy Campbell
Suzanne taught me that my voice is connected directly to my thoughts and to my heart. Through her mind-body asana sequencing and the practice of using singing and chanting, I realized that my voice is an expression of my own inner world. I learned how to listen to my own vibration and how to find the quiet to listen to others. I now recognize when my body posture and my own sounds show what is going on within.

Suzanne's work and the voice of change modality is LIFE. CHANGING. Going through it myself I felt like a part of myself that had been missing had been found again. So grateful for Suzanne's work, this program, and community.

I was completely inspired and feel blessed to have you as a teacher this past weekend. Your music was heartwarming and got me through some intense moments, hearing about more of what you do in the world really showed me what's possible on a grounded human level, that we can make change and still follow our own unique path, I hope to do this one day as well. I have a lot of work to do but it all seems within my grasp.

I am filled with emotion hearing the beauty of our chant, 'may we remember, who we really are.' I am very grateful Suzanne, for your authenticity and the incredible and practical wisdom of your sharing. I feel transformed physically, emotionally, and spiritually much more than two days worth. These big shifts have me seeing my world with very new eyes. I am slowing down to ask and question what is in my life. I am so happy to be re-connected with the amazing healing power of sound and to feel my own voice opened, stronger and clearer.

What an AMAZING evening!!! Feeling deep gratitude for the presence of spirit, joy, and love shared by all. Thank You Suzanne Sterling, and the incredible musicians that supported this magical gathering... you are an inspiration of the soul... and Thank You for all that you are. Blessings and namaste.
Ursula Rudorfer
I want to thank you for your professionalism and inspiration over this past weekend. Our group was truly transformed and we appreciated your amazing use of time management. You made sure to get in everything that you wanted and still finished on time! The fact that this is part of your dharma (along with all the other remarkable things you do!) is quite incredible and the training just would not have been as powerful without you.
Lisa Nixon
I haven't been able to sing for months because of this and it was really depressing as a singer being able to use my voice is my medicine. Suzanne's workshop was transformative - I would say my life depended on it. I have been symptom-free since I left, and will be going back to work on October 3rd. Suzanne's spirit and courage is contagious.
Alex Gandy
The voice workshop you did with us changed everything for me. The opening you created, the fearlessness, the creative power, the absolute joy - I took all of it with me. Everything in my role as a teacher has changed since then in a way that opens up so much potential to do exponentially more for so many kids. I just know I would not be here without you that weekend. Thank you
