Singnasium is thrilled to offer one of our original classes!!

Connecting your mind, body, spirit and voice.

In this unique class, Kristine helps students to access their most authentic, intuitive singing and performing voice. Kristine brings her 45 years as a performer, 15 plus years as a teacher as well as her her training as a certified RYT® yoga instructor and meditation teacher, incorporating yoga, breathing, and mindfulness techniques to open the body and mind. You don’t have to be a practitioner of yoga or meditation; these are simple poses and techniques that can help enable you to connect more deeply with your material and your instincts as a performer. Then, you’ll sing the song and let it go where it goes. We’ll break it down and discuss what’s working and not working in the piece. The focus will be on how you’re feeling it and how to help you get more connected to the present moment while you’re singing. The aim is to  take you out of your head and put yourself fully in the material. Ultimately, these techniques can also be helpful for finding the way into newer material or to revisit old material you haven’t been able to crack yet. For the first class or two, students might wish to start with material they are familiar with musically and lyrically, but please bring several options to every class.

Class Description
At the beginning,  there will be 10-15 minutes of simple yoga poses (modifications will be made available as each person needs them, and may be done in a chair) intended to help energy move through the body as well as stretch and open up commonly tight areas such as the lower back, hips and shoulders followed by  5-10 minutes of meditation using various techniques, alternate nostril breathing, simple connection to breathing in breathing out, dealing with thoughts, tapping, mountain meditation and more. This will be done as a group for the first 20 minutes, then, we will work individually on your material.  While the first person works, the next person will be able to prepare outside using breathing, mediation, and yoga techniques from class to help you in your work.
