On the Road

On the Road

 

I just got back from an indie-pop tour with a The Smittens, Monnone Alone (ex Lucksmiths), and The Special Places (ex Tullycraft) as their Yoga Instructor/Wellness Consultant. I customized yoga sessions for pre-performance anxiety/jitters, sweaty hangover/detoxification, and general maintenance.

 

From nights spent sleeping on someone's floor, to the repetitive stress of playing night after night, touring musicians' bodies are abused on a constant basis. Being away from close friends and family for any span of time can be tough. The rigor of tour impacts not only your body, but also can wreak havoc on your state of mind. When you place yourself in such an extreme situation, a regular yoga practice can stabilize you to your very core.

Performers can find clarity, build internal reserves of energy, and cleanse the body through a regular yoga practice.

Book a session, or find out more about what it's like to tour with your very own Yoga Instructor, contact me.

Yoga With Fawn is live, and fully functional! Behind the scenes was a really talented group of all women who deserve applause.

1. Elizabeth Collins at Oh Busy Weaver. Liz is a detail-oriented, efficient, and extremely patient web developer whose services include client training so once your site is up she teaches you the back end.

2. Alia Hoffman at Darling Press and Stationers drew the initial logo before I took it into Illustrator. She is an artist who has a lovely small letterpress studio in her home with her husband Jason.

3. Heather Zinger took all the photographs for the site. Professional, energetic, and fun are all words I would use to describe my experience with Heather. Here are some outtakes from our domestic and studio photo shoots.

Non-static and alive, a website is the ultimate work-in-progress. One aspect I will continue to develop is the online store. In fact if you make unique, local products, send me a message!

Love and yoga,

Fawn
