Yoga for Singers
Justin Montigne, instructor
Dates: Wednesday Evenings, January 13, 20, and 27, 7:00 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.
Location: Ives 119, Sonoma State University
Registration Note: This class is limited in size.
Folder-shoulder got you down? Standing on risers for long concerts hurt your back? Interested in making a deeper connection to your instrument, the body? Do you want to better access and ground your breath and free up tension to make singing easier? Just curious about chakras, asanas, or yoga in general?
Join us for a new workshop exploring yoga for singers. Move a bit, sing a lot, and find out how to begin a yoga practice that can help you be a more physically present and grounded choral singer. Repertoire will be varied and accessible to singers with previous choral experience.
No yoga mat or previous yoga experience necessary.
Movement will be gentle, chair-based or standing, and fully integrated into concepts of singing.
Week 1: Tadasana - Stand and Sing
Week 2: Performing with Prana - Breath/Wheels of Life
Week 3: Yoga = Union - Getting It Together
Each night we will sing as part of our exploration. The repertoire will be varied, ranging from folk songs to vocal jazz to renaissance motets - anything that a choral singer may encounter - so that we can confront the issues in various styles of singing from a yogic perspective.
