I'm Amy Mushall (rhymes with muscle💪). I own an Independent Voice Studio in Colorado Springs, CO called YOUR INSTRUMENTAL BODY. Many people come to the studio to refine and expand their singing and speaking abilities. I'm also an Alexander Technique teacher (I'll complete my certification in 2024!). Alexander Technique is a collaborative process where I work with people to help them find a better quality in their body, thinking, or emotions in an activity or situation. I teach online and in-person . In singing and in life, Your Instrumental Body is the key to unlocking efficiency and vitality.

Thanks Amy. My dog enjoyed playing along with me while I lifted my heavy purse.

What a revelation about writing with ease and neutrality! I really feel a difference all the way from my hands to my arms, shoulders, and neck. Could my writing and typing habits be affecting/causing the neck stiffness I seem to feel each day?
@@CynthiaBroin-m3o what a COOL discovery AND an even more exciting CURIOSITY! I hope you continue to explore. Let me know what you discover.
Just what I needed on this Friday the 13th! With grocery shopping, cabinets being delivered ... It was a treat to sit and breathe with you! Thank you so much!
@@CynthiaBroin-m3o I'm so glad you could join me and take a break from all the busy-ness! Hope you'll be back tomorrow for Day 3!
