☯️ Holistic Horn Ep. 14 - Austin Pancner: The Functional Musician

Austin Pancner, The Functional Musician, is a trombonist and movement coach. In this episode, we explore this phrase that reshaped his life and teaching: "Breathing is expansion in all directions at the same time."

What to expect in this episode:

- How breathing can restore motion and reduce pain in surprising ways for musicians

- Case studies of real musicians Austin has worked with (including healing insomnia and injury)

- A guided breathing exercise for you to try

We breathe about 25,000 times per day. How we do it directly affects our nervous system, joints, fascia - and you bet it affects the way we perform on stage. Hope you enjoy.
