When we look at the interconnectedness of sound, breath and body we find infinite ways to bring potency and vibration into all the body tissues. Our many diaphragms shape and modulate movement through the body, sounding brings vibration to every cell, and the breath animates and unifies. Together they create a bridge between our internal experience and the outer environment, and offer whole-body integration, resonance and relatedness.
