Lena Recommends.....
As all of my vocal students know, the breath is the most important thing for singing. Tai Chi focuses on the breath through movement. And for all musicians, acknowledging physical tension in the body and minimizing its impact leads to effortless playing. Tai Chi helps you to pinpoint these stresses and ease tension. Adam Potts has a great 30-day program for beginners I highly recommend. Check it out!
