Meet Nadja Antonides, the founder of Yogininni

Hi, I'm Nadja, a yogininni, certified yoga teacher, health and nursing professional and essential oil specialist from beautiful Vienna, Austria.

My journey with sound healing started during the time of my yoga teacher training. I attended several sound baths and fancied specifically the ones where multiple different instruments where used. When I learned about tuning forks, I was immediately caught and knew these were “my instruments”!

This is what made me look specifically for a training with tuning forks, and at some point during my search, I found the training with the wonderful Adrienne Smith with The Sound Healing Academy in Ojai, California. As I was part-time living in Ojai at that time, it was perfect!

Thanks to my sound healing training, my understanding for holistic health was transformed and my horizon broadened. I never thought that I would include tuning forks and sound healing into my offerings...I also never thought it to be possible that these little instruments with their vibration and sound could have such impactful effects!

Now I always have my tuning forks with me when teaching a yoga class and my clients love their vibrations. My work became more subtle, energetical and intuitive, I love that! I mainly offer 1:1 sessions for people with health issues, where I combine sound healing with my knowledge as a nurse, to support a holistic healing journey for my clients.

Altered states during shamanic drumming: a phenomenological study

This study investigated the experiences of 22 participants during a 20-minute shamanic-like drumming session.

The analysis revealed themes such as visual and auditory phenomena, and feelings of inner guidance. Participants generally appreciated the drumming session, and the study concluded that shamanic-like drumming can be a valuable supplement to other psychotherapeutic techniques.

Spotlight on the 111 Hz Tuning Fork: a gateway to deep healing

Did you know that the 111 Hz Weighted Tuning Fork is considered one of the most powerful tools in the world of sound healing?

Often referred to as the “Divine Frequency”, 111 Hz is associated with deep cellular regeneration, meditative states, and emotional balance. It resonates with the sacrum and pelvic area, but its influence goes far beyond the physical - it’s a key to accessing altered states of consciousness and inner peace!

Whether you’re working on yourself or offering 1-2-1 healing sessions, this tuning fork can:

• Calm the nervous system and reduce stress
• Stimulate the brain’s right hemisphere, enhancing intuition and creativity
• Support trauma release and emotional healing
• Promote a deep sense of grounded relaxation and safety

Apply the fork around the body’s energetic centers, particularly near the sacral chakra, on or off the body, or let the vibrations travel through the spine when used near the sacrum.

Listening to the rhythms & vibrations of your inner world

In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to lose touch with the natural rhythms of our body, mind, and spirit. Sound healing offers a gentle reminder that everything within us is vibrating - constantly shifting, responding, and seeking harmony.

Tuning forks invite us to attune to subtle vibrations. Their clear tone acts like a mirror, reflecting where there’s flow and where there’s tension, gently encouraging balance.

Meanwhile, frame drums call us back to our roots - their steady rhythm echoing the beat of the heart, the cycle of breath, the primal rhythm of life.

When used together in a healing session or personal practice, these instruments offer a powerful dialogue between the subtle and the steady, between feeling and grounding. They remind us that healing is not linear - it’s a dance between stillness and movement, vibration and silence.

Guided Practice: Sounding Inward

1. Settle into a quiet space and take a few slow, conscious breaths.
2. Begin by striking or activating a tuning fork (such as 111 Hz or Om 136.1 Hz) and hold it near your heart or sacral area. Let the vibration enter your body and listen not just with your ears, but with your whole being.
3. After a few rounds, pick up your frame drum.
4. Begin to play a slow, steady beat like a heartbeat. You can tap gently with your fingers if you don’t want to use a mallet. Feel how the rhythm anchors you.
5. Alternate between the fork’s resonance and the drum’s rhythm.
6. Notice what arises.
7. Sit in silence for a moment afterward and simply listen.
