Description

You’re highly knowledgeable in your field, but when it’s time to share that knowledge, your voice sometimes tells a different story. It’s easy, and often jarring, to feel the shift from confident and assured in your daily role as an educator, researcher, or professional to nervous and shaky in the role of a public speaker trying to present your work. Maybe your voice trembles when all eyes are on you, or your breath turns shallow and your words feel tight. This 45-minute interactive workshop is designed to help you steady your voice so your presence reflects your authority. You’ll learn simple yoga-based tools, including breathwork, gentle postures, and short meditations, to calm your nerves and relax your voice. With partner activities, light storytelling practice, and a take-anywhere sequence, you’ll leave with practical techniques that help you sound like the knowledgeable speaker you truly are.
