Most musicians strongly identify with what they do. It’s more than just a job. This means that it’s easy to go from "my playing or singing is not enough" to "I’m not enough".

Anytime you down-regulate your nervous system, you dial down muscle tension, they're linked. This is one of the things that yoga is really brilliant at and you will find lots of content helping you to do that throughout this course.

I truly believe that self-care is essential, especially for musicians. Far too many of us start addressing issues once we can’t do the thing we love. But I believe there’s a different approach.

Be careful how you talk to yourself because you are listening.
