This program is all about releasing the restorative power of breath in the everyday moments of our jam-packed professional lives. Breathing in (and crying out!) is the first thing most babies do upon entering the world. Yet this first and most essential thing we do is woefully under-utilized in our day-to-day as adults. Modern adults breathe less, more shallowly, and with less intention than we could and should. In this program, participants learn: 1) why conventional wisdom to “breathe before speaking” is misleading and counterproductive; 2) how to use performance and meditation breath practices to transform focus and speech; 3) how to release natural breath rhythms, capacity, and coordination; 4) how to use intentional breathing in order to add relaxation and rejuvenation without adding time to workdays; 5) how to use breath to convey poise and gravitas; and 6) how to speak with a supported sound that improves vocal production.
