Yoga for singers: A holistic practice tool

Collyer, Sarah (2018) Yoga for singers: A holistic practice tool. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This thesis explored the design and implementation of a holistic practice tool for singers, utilising the principles and practices of Hatha yoga and an experiential person-centered education model within a mixed-methods action research design. Singers participating in the program reported a range of positive, wellbeing related outcomes and the results of the study revealed three principle considerations for conducting holistic, person-centred education in the performing arts: process before product, integrated experiential learning and reflection in action. These three considerations can be used to design future educational programs addressing the health and wellbeing of singers and other performing artists.
