HEALING THROUGH THE VOICE
Singing is an expression of the soul, as natural as breathing. With an innate and magnificent instrument, we have the power to bring to life something divine, allowing us to melodically express, whether flowing with words or without them, everything that is felt inside, sharing our essence, our emotions, our moment.
By releasing our voice, we create a deep connection with our being and touch something beyond, which unites us with the whole and with others on a plane that transcends words. It's a vibrational communication, woven by sounds, tones, rhythms, melodies, lyrics, and silences. This sonic alchemy connects us to an inner space, the cradle of our creativity. Singing is to explore this inner universe, finding and sharing the light that each one of us carries.
EXPERIENCES
MANDALA DA VOZ IMMERSION
The Mandala da Voz Immersion is an incredible opportunity for those who love to sing and wish to elevate their vocal abilities.
Imagine understanding methods that not only enhance your voice but also empower you to express yourself in a true and authentic way.
Let's connect with our bodies in a magical way, treating them as the incredible instruments they are, and tune in with the nature of an ecological Sanctuary in the heart of the Chapada dos Veadeiros that challenges us to access and embrace the raw and wild nature that resides within us as well.
I invite you to embark on this journey, an invitation to liberate yourself through your voice!
INDIVIDUAL SINGING LESSONS
In individual lessons, we explore the potential of your body as a musical instrument filled with possibilities. The focus is on developing a deep understanding of breathing and its application in singing, as well as vocal production and the recognition of resonance spaces that enrich the sound. Through specific exercises, we work to strengthen, make more flexible, and condition the muscles related to singing, including those of the larynx. Our goal is to enhance your vocal skills, helping you achieve a fuller and more confident expression.
Moreover, each student receives a personalized plan of practical exercises, specially created to meet their individual needs. These exercises should be performed regularly, with the goal of developing efficient conditioning of the vocal instrument until our next meeting.
To facilitate monitoring and practice between sessions, the lessons can be recorded, allowing you to review the material and continue your development until a next class.
PILATES - YOGA
BODY IN MOVEMENT
The classes combine Pilates, yoga, and specific techniques for alignment and postural conditioning. They start with a focus on aligning the muscle chains, working to release tensions and address the causes of postural compensations.
This work aims to undo tensions and identify the origins of postural compensations. From this foundation, we move on to strengthening and flexibility exercises tailored to the specific needs of each student, promoting mobility and stability for a more balanced and pain-free body.
Sessions are available both individually and in groups, suitable for anyone looking to improve their posture and bodily health.
HELLO AND WELCOME! I AM AMBIKA CRUZ
I am a vocalist with various qualifications in vocal pedagogy and andragogy, an eternal student and researcher of both modern and ancient sciences related to singing.
My mission is to help people connect with the transformative potential of their voices in an efficient and healthy manner, expanding abilities and illuminating any emotional or technical/physiological blockages that may be obscuring their true expression.
I am part of a musical project called Mantric Mambo, and I compose medicine songs that resonate in hearts around the world. My life is woven with strands of spirituality; I am a mother, a medicine woman, a prayer leader, and one of the responsible leaders for ceremonies at the Templo Mãe D'água, a spiritual refuge in the Chapada dos Veadeiros since 2000.
My passion for movement and understanding of the human body led me to become a Yoga and Pilates instructor, accumulating qualifications over 25 years. Fascinated by the physiology, anatomy, and biomechanics applied to movement and singing, I also integrate knowledge of neuroscience and neuroplasticity into the learning process, seeking an approach that harmonizes body, mind, and voice.
My voice is my life companion, with whom I have shared highs and lows, challenges and triumphs. Through a personal journey of discovery and overcoming, I developed a unique methodology that I am pleased to share in this immersion.
Finding my own voice was a path of empowerment and discovery, allowing me not only to express myself in a unique way but also to help others do the same. I am here to show you how you can also free the power of your voice, on a journey of discovery, expression, and deep connection.

TESTIMONIALS
Ambika is a wonderfully talented singer as well as an exceptionally caring and patient teacher.
Ambikas’ classes have helped me feel more confident to sing throughout the years, lifting my voice to her songs have deeply inspired me and many others.
Her ability to explain anatomy and pass such profound practices separates her from many teachers that just sing together with students, I feel like I am in a multi university with so much information at our fingertips in her workshops/retreats.
Technically exciting we learn so much, and highly meditative since we all vibrate together within her mandala of harmonies.
