Nicole E. Anderson
Certified Therapeutic Musician
Mental Health & Mindfulness Practitioner

Nicole has been offering harp-accompanied yoga classes since 2018 and has collaborated with yoga instructors throughout the state of Massachusetts. A yogi herself, Nicole personally understands the depths in healing that can be achieved as a result of the practice. By combining yoga with therapeutic harp music, the benefits are achieved even more profoundly. Participants of harp-accompanied yoga have noticed the following:

​

✓ Better focus

✓ Steadier, deeper breathing

✓ Enhanced feelings of well-being

✓ Emotional catharsis

✓ Better sleep after practicing

✓ Reduced stress

✓ Decreased body tension

​

In harp-accompanied yoga, Nicole plays a small therapy harp while sitting on a meditation bolster. This allows the soundboard to come into direct contact with the floor.  As a result, participants can feel the vibrations travel through the floor, in addition to the resonance through the air. Using the instructor as a guide, Nicole plays music that matches the energy of the class by adjusting her note frequencies, rhythm, and tempo accordingly.
