The Breathing Gym is a somatic educational system designed by Sam Pilafian (1949-2019) and Patrick Sheridan which aims to improve physical function and movement through breathing exercises and directed attention. The Breathing Gym is a method to learn to breathe more freely, reduce physical stress, & prepare the mind to learn.
These exercises:
- Promote a calmer, quieter, more focused rehearsal.
-
Create better group timing at entrances and releases.
- Help internalize and improve group rhythm.
- Build better intonation created by more characteristic tone production.
Balance = Freedom of Movement
Find your Balance. Find your Freedom.
Balance your Skeleton. Balance your Mind.
