The Breathing Gym

The Breathing Gym is a somatic educational system designed by Sam Pilafian (1949-2019) and Patrick Sheridan which aims to improve physical function and movement through breathing exercises and directed attention.  The Breathing Gym is a method to learn to breathe more freely, reduce physical stress, & prepare the mind to learn. These exercises: Promote a calmer, quieter, more focused rehearsal. Create better group timing at entrances and releases. Help internalize and improve group rhythm. Build better intonation created by more characteristic tone production. Balance = Freedom of Movement Find your Balance.  Find your Freedom. Balance your Skeleton. Balance your Mind.
