SUZAN POSTEL
The Body Sings
Have you ever watched a child playing barefoot on the beach, moving effortlessly between crouching and standing, belly moving freely as they laugh or yell without strain? No hunched shoulders, constricted voices, achy necks or backs. I will guide you to peel away the layers that a lifetime of stressors imposes on body, voice, and mind, and
help you reconnect to your body’s organic function and innate impulse towards health.
What is The Body Sings℠?
The Body Sings℠ is designed for singers, voice teachers, speech pathologists, actors, or anyone
who seeks a free and resilient body and voice.
Areas explored include: basic anatomy and
biomechanics; postural assessment and dynamic alignment; releasing the muscles that restrict and inhibit our instrument, and strengthening those that support it; use of imagery and enhanced somatic awareness; optimizing the breathing mechanism; and connecting the breath to sound and fully embodied singing.
"I had my first Facetime session with Suzan Postel today, and I can not say enough good things about working with her! Her work embodies the whole philosophy behind Somatic Re-education of the body and the connection among body, mind and heart.
Highly recommend!"
- Cate Frazier-Neely, Former President, MD/DC Chapter of National Association of Teachers of Singing
