Hello Cheyne Gang! This week we have a blues theme! Julie has filmed two new videos - a tutorial and a sing-along of a traditional blues song 'Mama Don't Allow'. The tutorial involves short and extended breathwork, and the sing-along is a fun way to put it all into practice.
We also revisit a breathing exercise from sunnier times and Anne has chosen a few of her favourite blues numbers from YouTube to keep the theme going. Enjoy!
