Can yoga serve as vocal warmup?

May 20, 2009

I haven’t found success at this. Yoga’s stretches are valuable to enable capacity, but it is difficult to stretch the vocal tract or vocal cords as for warm-ups, that I know of.

Yin Yang, balance, yoga, singing

This makes sense–that proper vocal structure is a balance of yin yang, constrictor-anti-constrictor (Alan Greene), posture and counter-posture (yoga). For such is the harmony of the Taoist symbol.

This blog is primarily concerned with dealing with the constrictors (because the blogger is mostly a constrictor); however, I think it’s possible certain singers’ difficulties are more in the anti-constrictors difficulties–this has been casually mentioned in some of my readings.

Cobra, because cobra counteracts the slouch and achieve a straighter vocal tract.  Lots of people have slouches, and most aren’t aware of it.  Very few people stand straight.
