Body Mapping: Balance and Breathing

The body map is one’s self-representation in one’s own brain. If the body map is accurate, movement is likely to be good.

If the body map is inaccurate or inadequate, movement may be inefficient and potentially injury-producing. Designed to bring awareness to tension habits, this injury prevention information for musicians focuses on the body in movement.

During the first hour (BALANCE), we will explore our six places of balance to find freedom and dynamic buoyancy in movement.

During the second hour (BREATHING), we will accurately map breathing structures to promote more efficient and effective breathing. Please bring a yoga mat or towel for gentle movement activities if you wish to participate.
