Aligned and Aware: Solutions for the Singing Body
A groundbreaking online movement library for voice pros who are ready to love the instrument they live in.
______________________________________________________________________________
You know the whole body is your instrument, but no one…not your beloved voice teacher, the countless coaches you’ve worked with, nor the maestro in master classes…has ever looked at and really seen the whole you.
How many of these resonate?
If your low back isn’t barking at you, your neck is nagging.
There’s a hotspot of pain right on the inner edge of your shoulder blade that’s way too spicy.
You have a flat butt (go ahead and look in the mirror to confirm, we’ll wait…)
The only way there’s ‘strength’ in your core is if you grip it, grit your teeth and heave.
When you pause for a moment and exhale, you realize you’re holding tension from your shoulders, to your abs, to your pelvic floor.
______________________________________________________________________________
What’s the secret sauce missing from feeling better in your body?
It’s ease and suppleness in the torso.
It’s shoulders and hips that move well.
It’s a core that’s responsive.
It’s living better in, and loving on, your instrument.
