Beginners Harmonium Program For Yoga Teachers & Students
6 Weeks | 6 Private Sessions On Zoom | Music Charts & Knowledge Sheets
You will be able to play the harmonium right from the first lesson and experience the beautiful resonance of sacred mantra.
Even if …you’ve never played an instrument before and you are afraid of your own voice!
Namaste! I’m Jo, a sacred music artist and teacher.I began my spiritual journey in India in 2006 and since 2011 have been teaching harmonium, mantra chanting and singing to complete beginners and students of intermediate level.
Over the years I’ve designed a successful technique with unique music charts that help even the most ‘unmusical’ student learn to play and advance themselves with confidence. I have inspired accomplished singers to accompany themselves and learn the more challenging ragas and songs.Students have introduced mantra into their yoga classes with success and gratitude to this ancient practice. It’s a wonderful journey of music to touch your heart, help you grow personally, professionally and spiritually.
There are thousands of beautiful mantras, but I’ve chosen ones I’ve been initiated in following the ancient Vedic tradition as well as songs I’ve written and recorded on my Cafe Mantra Music albums. My repertoire has expanded to Carnatic classical songs as I continue to study and practice.
“Learning harmonium with Jo is one of the most soul nourishing experiences I’ve had in long time” Libby Perkins, Yoga Teacher, Byron Bay

“I’ve had the best experience ever learning the harmonium and chanting. Thank you Jo, I’m still buzzing!” Barbie Cawthorn, Surfers Paradise

About Me
I’ve been singing all my life in jazz and cabaret styles, but my true musical heart was untouched until I went to India.I fell in love with the healing sounds, exotic instruments and classical ragas that touched my heart and inspired me to record a range of albums for yoga, relaxation and meditation.Since India, I have recorded 10 albums under my brand Cafe Mantra and continue to record new music as divine inspiration comes forth.
My song ‘Himalaya’ won the 2015 NCEIA Dolphin Music Award for best song in the adult contemporary category which tells of my spiritual journey.
Sacred music and chanting has given me profound peace, healing and happiness and it's my wish to share this magic with you.

Calming, meditative, relaxing, and uplifting are some ways people describe Cafe Mantra Music because they have experienced the healing energy of sacred sound. You see, my music is not only beautiful, but scientifically created to harmonise your whole being … your mind, body and soul.
Are you experiencing stress, anxiety, fear, illness, uncertainty? If so, this negative energy impacts your mind and subtle frequencies to go out of harmony, out of tune. Much like a guitar that needs tuning regularly, so do our minds. Mantra music awakens the vibrations of peace that are deeply embedded in you, and you come back in tune with nature and feel relaxed, content and happy. Magic!
How Is Cafe Mantra Music Unique?
Cafe Mantra Music uses a special tempo of 60 beats per minute which is the resting heart rate. Just by listening, your subtle energies come into alignment with this innate rhythm. This tempo coupled with the healing vibrations of Sanskrit mantras, soothes your mind and nervous system without effort. All !you need do is listen, let go and allow the music to take you on its healing journey. Easy!
Everything I create follows the ancient Vedic sciences of yoga, mantra and Ayurveda. As a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner, my knowledge and experience couples with a deep devotion to bring a richness, depth and spiritual energy to my music, teaching and cooking with the intention to help you nourish your entire being.
Blessings for your peace, health and happiness!
