One voice. Many forms of listening.

Ola Sangels composes across five distinct musical projects and teaches Voice Yoga as a somatic practice. Both emerge from the same source: breath held with intention, sound made with full attention.

Each project asks a different question

Ola came to music through close listening — to rooms, to silence, to the way a voice changes when the body is fully present. Her five projects are not experiments in eclecticism; they are five different angles on the same inquiry.

Voice Yoga grew from the same discipline. When you pay careful attention to breath — how it enters, where it lands, what it shapes — sound becomes something you make consciously, not habitually.

Her practice is international, her work spans contemporary composition and embodied vocal teaching, and her sensibility is rooted in craft: precise, present, unhurried.

Craft, not ceremony. Presence, not performance.

The work is serious and embodied — whether composing a song or leading a vocal practice. Ola brings the same quality of attention to both: listening first, then making something real from what she hears.

Voice Yoga is where the practice becomes accessible — breath, sound, and attention in a form you can enter directly.
