The Breathing Gym

The Breathing Gym is a somatic educational system designed by Sam Pilafian (1949-2019) and Patrick Sheridan which aims to improve physical function and movement through breathing exercises and directed attention.  The Breathing Gym is a method to learn to breathe more freely, reduce physical stress, & prepare the mind to learn.

These exercises:

• Promote a calmer, quieter, more focused rehearsal.
• Create better group timing at entrances and releases.
• Help internalize and improve group rhythm.
• Build better intonation created by more characteristic tone production.
