Join Aisling Casey, Principal Oboe with the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and qualified Body Mapping instructor as she takes us through the importance of balance for optimal & free breathing. Aisling will use the principles of Body Mapping to help you discover more freedom through a balanced body, and therefore more freedom in your playing.
As bipeds, and when vertical, we balance our head every day on the top of our spines, which is quite an anatomical feat given it weighs 5-6 kgs. The miraculous design of the human body makes this possible allowing us to move with very little effort, once we use our bodies in the correct way for which they were designed. Being in balance leads to our breathing apparatus having the potential to function with great freedom.
