AWARENESS & SENSATION
Playing-related injury and pain come from prolonged, unaddressed tension, both in the body and mind. We will learn how to develop awareness of these tensions and how to access the sensations of release that allow us to move and play freely. If you have ever had tension or pain while playing, deal with stress around practice or performance, want to learn how to prevent future injuries, or are just curious to learn about musician health, this work is for you.
If we can be aware of the state we are in and know how to access the state we want to be in, then we can choose our state of being. This work is about noticing habits, patterns, assumptions, and stories that are harmful and learning how to reprogram or release them, both in body and mind.
