Yoga for Organists of All Ages
Presenter: Lily Anne Hillis
This workshop is for organists and choir directors of all ages. Lily will show you easy-to-remember yoga poses to relieve tension and perform with more ease and grace. She will focus on areas that tighten up from playing at the console and ideas for warming up singers. No experience is necessary. You will stretch only at a level which is right for you. Her motto: "If it hurts, don't do it." As an older yogi, Lily knows what is safe to avoid further strain and injury. She maintains a keen awareness of the people in the room, their needs and accommodations in each pose. No special clothing is needed; come as you are.
