The diaphragm is not only the primary muscle of respiration. It is also a hidden driver of our posture. With its location in the body and its asymmetrical structure, the diaphragm’s 20,000 contractions a day literally shape our body from the inside out.
Due to the continuous link of connective tissues, the diaphragm, the pelvic floor and the larynx are all interdependent. When the head and neck, ribcage and pelvis are not well aligned, our voices are not as easy to produce as they could be and we don’t manage pressure as well as we could.
If the diaphragm is driving our posture and we further adapt our posture to facilitate breathing, what’s a singer to do?
Inside this 2 hour you will learn about fundamental asymmetries in the body, how those show up in your posture and impact the voice. With an understanding of your baseline patterns you can develop strategies to work with them. Through breathing and movement we will explore supple alignment in the torso and apply, with curiosity, elements of the work to your singing.
**Workshop participants will need to dress in clothing they can move well in, have a mat, and a coregeous ball. Have a section or phrase of a song you want to use as your before and after.
