Mind.Music.Sanctuary
Coaching musicians through Yoga & Meditation to make music-making a sanctuary
Imagine….
Waking up feeling focused, grounded and excited about your day.
Being able to ground yourself before a performance and knowing you can express your musical message, your way.
Having a focused practice session while being in your sanctuary to get the work done that you want to get done, efficiently and easily.
Checking in regularly with yourself, doing yoga and mediation to bring yourself back to that post-yoga glow whenever you wanted.
This is how you feel once you enter the Mind.Music.Sanctuary
How do you do this?
Establish new daily habits in order to have more ease throughout your day with musical and non-musical activities.
This is where your mindfulness comes in! You can develop this skill to feel more grounded and confident to go after what your really want, not just what comes your way.
The Mind.Music.Sanctuary can help you focus on establishing the small daily habits that lead to the big picture goals of your reality. One of the programs offered below is where we can start together!
Why I can help you?
It wasn't that long ago that I struggled with balancing my life. I was a basket case at auditions, and felt like I was less-than because I didn't win a job right out of school. I was fortunate enough to study with Don Greene. He introduced me to healthy mindful habits to use throughout my life and get into balance. I started meditating daily and found Kundalini Yoga classes.
Slowly but surely, I started to feel grounded in ways I had never experienced before, confident to make decisions and really go for it at auditions, rather than half-ass it because I didn't want to know if my best just wasn't good enough, and I became less frazzled by all of the hats I had to wear as a freelance musician. After establishing mindfulness practices, I advanced at the first audition I took. Finally I felt like I had something to build on and eventually my first win happened.
Fast Forward 14 years of regularly practicing Kundalini Yoga, I was afforded the time (thanks pandemic) to get my Level 1 Kundalini Yoga Teacher Certification from the Kundalini Research Institute in April of 2021.
I decided to start Mind.Music.Sanctuary
to help musicians find a mindfulness practice that works for them and their music making. I love to talk with people and hear their story. I also love yoga/mediation and how it makes me feel. Combining these with music is how I feel I can contribute to the greater good in our world. The goal at Mind. Music. Sanctuary is to create a community of sharing to better everyone around us.
