Yoga

I really feel there is a strong bond between the areas of Yoga and Music. With hatha yoga's emphasis on balance and proper alignment, and the advantages of incorporating meditation & breathing exercises, yoga is an excellent method to help improve musical performances by increasing lung capacity, relaxation, and improving blood circulation.

A session incorporating yoga will likely include a combination of the following areas:

• Meditation/Concentration exercises (including Mantras)
• Breathing exercises (Pranayama)
• Physical exercises (Hatha yoga)
• Specific work with the individual's instrument
