Abstract
This session explores different aspects of mindfulness, meditation, and yoga and how these practices can improve the performance of musicians. The high pressure demands of practicing and daily performance can create challenges of excessive stress, depression, tension, and anxiety. Using breathing techniques, progressive muscle relaxation, different types of meditation, and yoga practice, student and professional musicians are able to perform more effectively and confidently, and also experience less anticipatory anxiety before performances. This session highlights the connection between mind and body that is essential to music performance and can be enhanced by developing a better connection through meditation and yoga.
