Find yourself using these movements as you go about your day, and your body will feel greater ease in every action.

Delsarte Workshop: Breath Work and Performance
Breathing through our work, whether moving, speaking, singing, or just living, empowers and supports authenticity. We will look at three types of breath which correspond with the mind, heart, and body, and explore how they can help you. We will also work through a series of breathing exercises uniquely helpful for the needs of the voice.
Delsarte Workshop: Finding (And Keeping) Your Balance
Many health practices teach balance as a static, still practice, but challenges to balance and falls most often occur during movement. The Three Pillars approach teaches the coordination of moments in the body that create balance, and helps you "welcome the wobble," which is nature's way of fine tuning your balance. For artists we also explore the relationship between balance, beauty, and freedom of expression.
