A Workshop Focused on Loosening
JAW and TONGUE Tensions

Do you suffer from jaw or tongue tension (TMJ disorders)?

Are you curious about the connection between the voice and the body?

Join us ✨ 

This workshop is based on my research and explores the healing impact of specific holistic movements on articulatory muscles. This practice will help release unwanted and/or habitual jaw and tongue tensions.

 

The first part is dedicated to a presentation of the research findings. The second part focuses on practical exercises. We will start with warm-ups and assessments, which will be accompanied by jaw and tongue exercises, followed by a few specific yoga poses that will be accompanied by vocal exercises. The workshop will include warm-ups, gentle stretches, guided meditation, relaxation, self-touch, specific movements and yoga poses, and vocal/jaw/tongue exercises. Every participant will have an opportunity to restore balance in the body, allow authentic sound to move through the body, and release jaw and tongue tensions.

✨ ALL WELCOME 

"Preliminary data from Lloyd et al. (2017) confirms that the vocal yoga programme reduced participants’ vocal burden and dysphonia symptoms. Moliterno (2008) adds that when ‘the physical instrument is free and balanced, communication is clear, unguarded, and untainted by physical or emotional distractions’ (p.52)."
