Welcome!

Dear Reader,

Tomorrow we kick off the body and breath challenge! For the next 35 days, we'll explore what is central to your music-making, the foundation of YOU.

Whether you’re a Thriver, a returning participant, or if you’re new, we are delighted you’re here.
​

Throughout this challenge, you’ll be invited to:

• try methods of breathwork
• investigate movement
• make connections about what it means to use your body as an artistic instrument
• discover body awareness and the various mobility options the body has
• deepen the connection between mind and body

As we move through the main topic of each week, the path laid before you is simple (see the instructions below). You'll also be invited to connect with your fellow challengers, be proactive with questions and engagements, and *something* every day (via the trackers and worksheets)!

How this works:

• Open the emails on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and click the link to log in read or listen
• Download the PDF resources and get rockin’ on the action - and be sure to print out the trackers that come on Mondays!
• Speaking of those… each Monday you’ll get a new tracker, with prompts encouraging you to take action on the weekly topic
• Pay attention to your “ACTION STEPS” in each lesson, written at the bottom of the lesson description
• Use your Musician’s planner to journal this challenge if you have one :) As a B&B participant, you get 20% off with code “TC23” if you’d like to grab one!
• Join the Monday Meetups to get additional supporting topics, connect with other Challengers, share your work, ask questions and more. Let's bring the 🎉 and the good energy to that group!

It’s that simple!

So, get a good night sleep (so essential for body and breath) and we’ll see ya tomorrow!

Ixi, Nick & Ted
