A Litte About Gina Gallacher
I’m a harpist hailing from Aberdeenshire and love performing a mixture of solo, orchestral music as well as collaborating in projects for the community. Throughout my varied musical projects one thing has remained a constant underpinning which is my practice and love for yoga which has helped create a strong foundation for my approach to developing my music technique.
Musicians are vulnerable to injuries that can prevent them from making music to a higher level due to issues with posture and unwanted tension. I have aimed to prevent over treating any pains that could show up in the future and that has been through breathwork and the stretches that I learnt in yoga classes.
Through yoga classes I have become more mindful of how I use my muscles to avoid holding unwanted tension and developing my core strength has done wonders to my posture! I also found that there is more space in my harp playing musically and I can now perform for longer periods of time with ease due to my strengthened back.
I am delighted to be able to marry these two passions of mine together in this yoga session and I hope to create a restorative, relaxing environment with Sandra for you all.
