INSTRUCTOR

​

Swann Gong leads a level 2 module (module dedicated to Mongolian overtone singing).

​

Ely is a professional singer and certified sound therapist. She trained in sound yoga with Patrick Torre, at the Institut des Arts de la Voix in Paris, and Domitille Debienassis, at the Center de Tao du Son in Montpellier. She was trained in sound massage and gong bath at the Zen & Sounds Ibiza center, by Swann Gong. She has  also followed a training in restorative yoga with Audrey Favreau.

From a very young age, Ely sings naturally; singing has always brought him peace and well-being, joy and comfort. She made it her job as soon as she finished her psychology studies. She composes her singing parts and writes for the choirs she directs. It is by wanting to understand the mechanisms of this therapeutic aspect of singing that she has always felt intuitively that she encounters the yoga of sound. She then understood the principles of therapeutic singing and, in the light of her training and her profession as a singer and choirmaster, she created her own teaching method.  

 

Co-founder of Zen & Sounds with Swann, she regularly leads sound yoga workshops and therapeutic chanting of mantras. She gives gong baths, as well as sound massages using therapeutic bowls and tuning forks, in Zen & Sounds centers, but also throughout Europe, in yoga and well-being centers, festivals meditation and yoga, yoga and sound therapy retreats.

 

Multi-instrumentalist and singer, she uses her voice and various instruments such as the harp, the kigonki, the metal or crystal bowls, the koshi chimes, the sansula, the shamanic drum, the harmonium, as musical accompaniment tools, relaxation and meditation to music. She works with large symphonic and planetary gongs as well as a large choice of Himalayan bowls (from Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, India) and therapeutic tuning forks. Professional musician, composer and singer, she is co-founder of the musical duo ELEA with Swann, with whom she has given numerous concerts around the world.
