Yoga in the Musical World: Harmony in Motion

Send us a text

What happens when the world of music and the world of yoga collide?

Join hosts Vicki and Rithik as they welcome 10th-grade violinist Aaptika and 11th-grade violist Ojaswee to discuss their upcoming yoga relaxation session, a key event designed to help students prepare for the "very, very stressful" high school region orchestra auditions.

Aaptika and Ojaswee, who have practiced yoga since they were four and seven years old respectively, delve into the benefits of yoga, explaining how it is good for the cardiovascular system by relaxing the heart rate, activating neurons to help process more information, and significantly boosting personal confidence. Hear why even those who are "awful at yoga" or suffer from social anxiety should attend, as the instructors assure listeners that "everybody starts off bad" and the important part is to simply try, or, in the great words of Nike, "just do it".
