Ignite your heart and soul with Sara Troy and her guest Bisia Belina, on-air from July 24th
To clear your mind and release your stress, you have to follow your ‘out breath’ and your body will respond and find the ‘flow ‘ again. Join Sara and Bisia on how movement and sound helps you find your ease.
We are going to talk about breath – specifically the out breath, the exhalation, that brings you back to center.
When working with my clients as an RMT, the focus is helping them to let go of their ‘out breath’, to let go of the breath because with exhalation comes relaxation. You become heavier and more connected to your body Breath and body connect, you leave your mind behind and find space between your thoughts.
When teaching how to use the voice in singing, the focus is on the
‘out breath’ as well. Here, breath and sound connect. Sound and singing is all based on allowing the sound to ride the out breath. Emotion is what gives sound, texture, colour and feel. Through movement, the body gives rhythm and time.
Why is movement a part of VoiceWorks and SoundBody studio?
Movement is a way to challenge the fear that keeps us in the box of self-limitation and fear.
Movement connects voice and emotion through the body.
Sound Body Studio, teaches how tuning into your body, sensing your anatomy, coming back to alignment gives you a more ‘ lived sense’ of your instrument.
As a singer, “You are the instrument”. Your body is the instrument and getting in touch with it, is one more way back to center, back to self.
Sensing Anatomy and Vocal Anatomy workshops teach people how to get reacquainted with their bodies by exploring the flesh, the bones and space of their instruments. They learn how to be ‘in their bodies ‘and how to be present to ‘its’ needs. Questions explored in workshops:
How do you connect with your body?
Do you live with pain?
How do you manage your pain?
How does pain affect your breath, your instrument?
As Sound vibrates, resonances increase in a relaxed body. There is less of an effort and more ease, more air and more joy.
When you connect with your body, it supports your song and movement.
Improvisation is about self-trust, granting oneself permission, curiosity and exploration. All these skills apply to daily living.
Working with the Entry Points to Improv help us to be ‘present’ to the lives we are living. This is mindfulness not in meditation but in action. Examples of entry points are:
Using words to begin explorations- such as syncopation of words, words and time, words and rhythm.
Using story – personal or storytelling – using musical skills – How rhythm, time, melody, harmony are the skills we use to help us create “music that composes us.”
Using body/movement – understanding one’s movement and understanding ones pain.- expanding movement vocabulary sourced from Chi Gong, Feldenkrais, Yoga and a variety of movement practices ex: Laban/Bartinieff movement patterning and dance.
SARA AND BISIA WILL EXPLORE OUR CONNECTION TO OUR SPIRITED SELVES THROUGH BREATH MOVEMENT AND VOICE.

His Holiness the Dalai Lamai has said – “Feroze Dada, gives a moving account of a monk’s work and talks about his own efforts to support a school and a care centre for destitute Burmese children started by the monk in his monastery. I offer my prayers for their success.” Children of the Revolution is not simply a book about Myanmar’s journey towards a new freedom, with all of the complexity that freedom brings. It is also a story of the author’s own journey: as a Muslim absorbing Buddhist philosophy and in so doing building a bridge towards peace which offers a transformative vision about how to live a meaningful life that will bring education and hope to thousands of Burmese children. Children of the Revolution is Feroze Dada’s first book. All proceeds of the book go to the monastery school and orphanage at Inle, Phaya Taung. Feroze Dada set up the Inle Trust Charity 
We were travelling on a small boat on Inle Lake when a freak storm hit the lake. We were put ashore in the village of Phaya Taung and were given shelter by the monks. What happened next changed our lives……….and we are now looking to change the lives of 1000 abandoned and orphaned children at the monastery.
