Brooke Smokelin is a yogi, yoga teacher, musician, songwriter, sound healer, environmental artist, environmental educator, and visionary/ creator of events.

She is the founder and director of Chakra Activation Yoga and the creator of the Chakra Activation Deck.  Chakra Activation Yoga is a unique fusion style of classic static hatha asanas and dynamic kundalini kriyas sequenced to awaken, explore, and balance each of the 7 chakra-energy centers. The Chakra Activation Deck is a great tool (70+ beautiful, densely informative, color-coded flash cards) for inspiring and designing a home-based chakra-themed yoga practice.

Brooke has 25 years of yoga teaching and study in the Kundalini, Sivananda, Kriya and Ashtanga traditions and is currently an E-RYT offering advanced trainings to yoga teachers and students all over the world.  Her Chakra Activation Yoga provides students and teachers with a wealth of yogic tools and techniques to IGNITE THE LIGHT and positively embody their full spectrum selves.

Brooke is a musician/ songwriter/ sound healer as well and she brings all kinds of musical medicine to yoga studios, festivals and communities all around the country.  It might be the ecstatic “mantra trance-chanting" of a Vox Lumina Kirtan from her self-released album Vox Lumina’s Music is Medicine (2006) or the deeply relaxing and restorative Vox Lumina Crystal Bowl Sound Baths.  Sometimes she will combine them both (chanting and sound bath) with a high-vibing/ body grooving trance-dance set as the Vox Lumina Musical Medicine Experience.

On very special occasions Brooke transforms into Vox Lumina, the mystical, musical, mythical Queen of Orga, i.e. the natural world, and sings the Song of Light, the ancient Orga’n tale of the Original Ones- Sky Earth, Sun, Moon, and River- and how they dreamed themselves to be. The album-story Song of Light was released in 2012 and is now a multi-media performance montage that uses the creative mediums of myth, music, and image to raise awareness about the relationship we all have with nature.

Since 1996 each Vox Lumina performance/ritual produces a “vibrationally enhanced alchemical elixir” that is offered to the local bodies of water as musical medicine to raise the vibration of all bodies of water.

Brooke earned a degree in Environmental Education from Cornell University and for over 20 years has been developing “creative” environmental education, combining both artistic and scientific inspirations to foster a deeper and more conscious connection with the natural world.  She has been the creative force behind the Parade of All Beings celebrations and programming (in both NY and PA) as traveling to river communities all over the country and performing water healing rituals that raise the energy of people and place through vibration, education, and celebration with The River Alchemy Project.  In 2014 Brooke created Vox Lumina’s Green Scene as a pop-up performance venue to promote local environmentally friendly businesses and organizations and she continues to offer WILD WALKS in local parks to educate people about the wild edible and medicinal plants growing right underfoot.

“Everything I do is to turn the eye toward Nature, it’s beauty, it’s intelligence, it’s fantastic organization, it’s rhythm, and especially it’s healing, and it’s gifts.”
