Tyia Wilson
My journey as a singer has taken me from the open mics and sound studios of Los Angeles, to the lounges of Las Vegas, around the dizzyingly-high circles of San Francisco, and to the contemplative mountains of Idaho. I have integrated my relationship with breathing and yoga to expand what I have known of my voice and have begun to understand the limitless nature of sound. It is a powerful, creative force that can be used for healing and transformation in the body and the world around us.
Yoga
Practicing yoga with the intention to develop our bodies as instruments of sound leads to deep breath control and inner awareness. My yoga classes and breath work aim to center our focus on our body’s natural tendency to come into balance. Whether you are looking to detoxify, ease tension, deepen focus, move stagnant parts of the body, or just ground, this deeply intentional practice will frame your perspective around the small and meaningful successes living in your efforts.
Ecstatic Dance
Facilitating ecstatic dance is an opportunity for me to open up space for more healing. Coming into a local group and moving our bodies with no judgement, no shoes, no talking, no substances, and no touching without consent means that we have the permission to tune in to our body’s fluctuations. We can move to make medicine. Playing with balance points, spinal undulation, shaking, bouncing, breathing, and rotating, may be the extent of an ecstatic dance experience. All movement and dance modalities have a seed of healing in them and ecstatic dance is the meeting point for our bodies to cultivate those seeds. Being still and breathing/processing, swaying to the consciously-curated music, stretching; all of these actions are enough.
The Mediverse
The Medicinal Verse, shortened to Mediverse is an experimental recording project exploring spontaneous music, lyrics, and poetry. The repetition and layering of seed sounds creates a bed upon which more complex ideas are grown. Designing and editing for the digital platforms, these long-form musical medications are spliced into short doses to be spread across content-hungry systems.
