yoga and singing

[Guest guest]

I had a peculiar experience (the first of many, I hope) a couple of days ago

that I would like to share with the group and ask for comments on.

 

I have been taking vocal lessons for a couple of years now, and have a

regular practice routine. It seemed logical recently to link this practice

to my yoga practice, and so the two have happened at the same time of day

for a while. Last practice I started pulling mulbhand while singing scales,

and this seemed to help a little, so I continued my voice exercises with the

lock, and added the heart lock and neck lock for good posture.

 

Since I followed yoga with voice that morning, the voice lesson seemed to

pick up on the energy already raised. For the first time I felt able to tune

in to my heart chakra and throat chakra. For about an hour after practice, I

could by pulling the locks raise heat up my spine. I even felt the energy

connect to the top of my head, where the heat was more intense.

 

This is very exciting to me because I want very much to be both a better

yoga student and a better singer. However, I am still not a very proficient

singer. If there are any singers on the list, I would be anxious to hear

your opinion of using yoga with the breath, etc.
