"Yoga for Musicians: Embodying Techniques for Practice and Performance"
Monday, October 19, 2020
Online Zoom
9:45 A.M. Meeting
Yoga For Musicians is built to truly support all musicians; vocalists, pianists, string players, brass, woodwind, percussion; everyone! This workshop will help you practice and perform from a centered place, assisting you in sounding your best. Because when the mind and body are settled, you can play more like “you”!
During our workshop I will guide and share examples of breathwork and meditations to calm the mind, yoga postures targeting all areas of the body to build confidence and space within, and visualization techniques to get the most out of your practice time & performances.
Come as you are! You do not need to be flexible in order to try yoga. Poses will be suitable seated in chairs or standing.
Wear comfortable clothing you can move freely in, a yoga/exercise mat if you have one, a chair if you’d like to be seated for the movements, and an open mind.
