Come awaken your voice with us, through the vocal music teachings of the ancient mystics of the Indian Subcontinent, and let its beauty take you beyond the boundaries of time and space.
Over forty hours together we cover vocal technique and voice culture, Indian classical music theory and composition, creative improvisation, breathing techniques, and deep listening. You will have access to Tahir's and Amïe's personal feedback on your singing, and explore the ancient Raag system, which inspires, connects and empowers your personal vocal expression.
This training has been held at the Yoga Barn every year since 2022. Year after year the circle is a third beginners, a third intermediate and a third advanced singers, and every voice finds its place. Many students return year after year, and some have gone on to sing with the band.
Set amongst lush forests, the Lotus Studio is the perfect place for
vocal enthusiasts and musicians who want to deepen their own journey into music. 26 to 30 December 2026, with an optional three-day advanced training following in early January.
About Tahir Qawwal:
Tahir Qawwal has given over 30 years full-time to devotional music, trained by master singers of the Sufi and Indian classical traditions. With his ensemble Fanna-Fi-Allah he has sung over 2,000 concerts across Europe, the USA, India, China, Russia, the UK, Pakistan and the UAE, and offered music at the shrines of the saints of the Indian Subcontinent. He began with a limited pitch and range, proof that with training anyone can find their authentic voice. His feedback is warm and precise, delivered with a profound sense of humour, and opens voices people did not know they had.
About Alexandra Amïe:
Alexandra Amïe is a Swedish-born vocalist and harmonium player, and she holds the heart of Voice of the Beloved. She is the leader and co-founder of Ilahi, the world's first internationally touring
all-women Sufi Qawwali group, and together with Tahir she edited the first ever Qawwali documentary series, the award-winning Music of the Mystics. She guides each student into devotional, embodied singing with a warmth that lets beginners find their voice beside seasoned musicians. Some arrive having never sung a note, and leave with a daily practice, a soul family, and a voice that feels like coming home.
