An Opportunity



I'm joining forces with Meg Townsend this fall to offer a yoga and singing workshop.  Read on for everything you need to know about this delightful event:

The Art of the Breath: A Yoga Movement Workshop for Singers
Sunday, October 25 12:30-3:30p
$65 Early Bird (before October 10)
$75 Regular Price
New Leaf Club, 1225 Montrose Avenue, Rosemont, PA 19010

Breath is the base of life. Breath is also the base of singing and yoga. This workshop begins the journey of deeper awareness of your breath. For singing. For yoga. For life.

In this workshop, you will:

uncover deeper breath for singing and life
expand your vocal abilities through yoga
experience more joy and confidence

Meg will lead you through a yoga practice designed specifically to help you connect with your body as your instrument. Breath-work, bandhas (energy locks), core awareness, and subtle energetics will be tools used to help you access the strength and awareness you’ll need for healthy, authentic singing.

Heidi will then guide you through a series of vocal exercises which will apply the yoga practice to your singing. Heidi's ability to clearly explain how the human voice works will help you understand your own instrument on a deep and lasting level.

Together, Meg and Heidi will give you insight on how to incorporate the practice of both yoga and singing into your life so your development can continue after the workshop.
