This episode is for all musicians who struggle with or have struggled with performance anxiety…

Because the evidence shows that performance anxiety leads to unhelpful tension, which can lead to injury.

This episode is ALSO for all musicians who feel overworked!

Because studies show that over practicing has several implications that lead to injury.

Dr. Lesley McAllister has not personally experienced an injury, but has written the book on how to have a healthy connection between body and mind, to prevent injury and live a healthy musical life.

We go deep into the reasons why we over practice as musicians.

We explore yoga as a tool to help increase awareness of our mind-body connection.

We dive into how piano instructors and music teachers in general can help their students avoid mental and physical tension.

This is one for the books! Keep on keepin’ on and trust the process!
