Meditation & Yoga for String Players

Does just the thought of playing your instrument make your breath shorten and your pulse quicken?  While playing music can bring immense joy, it can also trigger panicked responses and can make the process of practicing feel tedious and frustrating. In this workshop, we will begin with journaling about our relationships with our instruments and with practicing. We will then do a guided meditation on infusing playing with more joy and acceptance. Lastly, we will cover some yoga postures that are particularly beneficial to string players.
