This series will include eight lessons exploring the space of the eyes, mouth, jaw, ears, vocal and breathing apparatus, and beyond. Often working in these areas will surprisingly release tension elsewhere in the body including the lower back, hips, shoulders, and the abdomen. Most of the lessons in this series will be done lying on the back or the side. These lessons will interact with your brain and nervous system in a very unique but powerful way.
An ear lesson will be a sensorial experience of how you learned to hear sound, produce sounds, and organize yourself for communication.
Lessons that include the eyes are known to calm the nervous system and reduce muscular tension in your eyes, cranium, and facial muscles. Through novel movements, interspersed with rest, eye lessons help release aches and pains beyond just the eyes and face, but often help relax the neck and spine. Experience a free eye lesson here.
These lessons can be beneficial in reducing facial tension, relieving TMJ symptoms, releasing stress held in the body, reducing tension from wearing a mask, improving breathing function, reducing eye strain and headache, and reducing tinnitus symptoms.
