MUSI 10091 Yoga for Musicians
Prerequisite: must be a Music major. This course is a pass/no credit course. The course focuses on flexibility, balance, strength, and relaxation. Using postures and breathing exercises adapted to each person's individual level, students will develop improved alignment, breathing, and a balanced body/mind. Students will unite these elements to aid in performance anxiety, posture, phrasing, and other activities inherent to their particular instrument. Limited discussion may include ways to incorporate yoga techniques into the students' daily activities, particularly in practice, rehearsal, and performance. This class is designed to accommodate both those who are new to yoga practice, as well as those with some experience.
