Making personal changes and adopting yoga helps musician perform better on stage.
Many Americans want to start optimizing their well-being and making personal changes in order to improve their quality of life. Enhancing the strength and resilience of one's mind and body may be as simple as engaging in the practice of yoga. Experts who provide healthy living tips often mention physical activity as a way in which people can achieve better stamina, flexibility and endurance, and the gentle stretches and poses of yoga can certainly help them accomplish these goals.
However, the holistic mind-body regimen is not just good for one's bones and muscles. Countless enthusiasts report that it has also improved their mood, in addition to relieving stress, tension and anxiety.
Individuals of all ages, backgrounds and experience levels have enjoyed the myriad benefits that are associated with the program.
Recently, the Irish Times reported that a musician from the National Symphony Orchestra practiced yoga to help her stay focused and concentrate on stage. Suzanne Brennan, who plays the clarinet, found that the Eastern art improved her performance.
"I noticed that after my yoga practice, I wasn't shaking," she told the news source. "Before, when I would approach a load of [difficult musical passages], I'd be quite anxious. Now I am much more steady with the notes. [Yoga] gives you more control over your body."
Brennan added that since adopting the holistic regimen, she has experienced fewer throat infections and feels more tolerant towards others. She enjoyed the exercises so much that she even encouraged her fiance, John Forde, to perform them with her.
"One of the big myths in the West is that you have to be some kind of an Olympic athlete to do yoga, but that is not the case," he said, quoted by the news source. "As long as you can breathe, you can do it."
