Today is Day 7 of Yoga with Adriene’s Move - A 30 Day Yoga Journey. I’ve been doing yoga - and Yoga with Adriene - for a few years now in a very on-and-off kind of fashion, but this is the first time I am incorporating this daily practice with my music practice.
Breathing, posture, consistency - three things that I’m already taking away from my daily yoga session and putting into my singing and saxophone rehearsing. I’m not going to lie, it had been a long time since I picked up my saxophone, and man alive my breath control was lacking. By integrating yoga on a more consistent basis, I can already hear the difference it’s making.
I’ve also started to become stronger in other areas - not just physically, but mentally. I’m feeling calmer before I step onto the stage, and staying level-headed when things don’t always go to plan. I’m also celebrating the fact that I’m taking 30 minutes out of my day for me and my wellbeing. To be honest, that’s reason enough to keep going.
