As Pilates teachers, the voice is an essential tool in the practice of teaching and yet the maintenance of the voice is often neglected. VoiceGym is a complete system of exercises that co-ordinate the body, voice and brain.

This second VoiceGym class with Alex focuses on face and tongue muscle exercises, tongue posture and jaw translation. These are potentially major areas of interference in the voice and breathing ‘ suspension. Developing a new attitude to opening your mouth and strengthening the related muscles will bring major improvements all round.
