Jonathan Adams
Jonathan Adams started his career as a professional musician recording albums for classical guitar with albums for Pamplin, Intersound Records and his own label. He later co-founded the classical fusion group, "Montana Skies," and toured with the group nationally as performing artist for over a decade. He is known on Insight Timer and elsewhere as the Sonic Yogi.
Jonathan discovered sound as therapy after his experiences and recovery from anxiety. As a touring musician, he knew the power of music to move our emotions; but following this experience, he understood its potential as a healing force. Since then, he has used his intuition, experiences and studies to explore the role of sound and music in the healing arts and create new ways for people to relax, enhance self-healing and expand their self-awareness.
Jonathan frequently gives talks and facilitates workshops on sound therapy and meditation, which include appearances at TedX, National Spiritual Living Conference, GA State Social Workers Conference, Emory Wellness Center and Wigwam Wellness Festival. His sound therapy tracks have been used by millions of people, and can be streamed on YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud and Insight Timer. They are also used by the Centergy yoga classes offered at Gold's Gym nationwide. He continues to explore ways in which sound, as therapy, can help people to relax, de-stress, enjoy deeper meditations and feel great.
