Class Description
Whether you are dealing with excess tension, persistent pain or recovering from an injury, this online class will introduce you to an experiential, educational and non‑invasive approach designed to support your recovery as a musician.
Together, we will explore 7 embodied recovery practices drawn from the Alexander Technique and modern pain science, with the aim of helping you play with more ease, confidence and freedom.
The 7 "Playing With(out) Pain" Embodied Healing Practices
- Centering – Getting Oriented Towards Safety
- Breathing – The Great Unifier
- Receiving – Saying Yes to What Is
- Choosing – Play, Disobedience & Daring to Be Wrong
- Coordinating – How to Harmonize With Your Body
- Resting – The Art of Just Being
- Shapeshifting – Allowing for Movement
The class format will be a combination group exercises on the 7 practices along with individual work with volunteers while they play or sing.
All registrants will get a downloadable replay and a pdf copy of Peter's 9-part e-course on the 7Â practices.
Disclaimer: This class is not meant to be medical advice or treatment. It is designed for musicians in pain who want to complement any medical approaches they may be pursuing. Or for musicians who are seeking non‑conventional approaches to navigating and recovering from tension, pain and injury.
