About the Breath, Body, Voice Synergy Workshops
Lessac Kinesensics BodyVoice training offers a holistic experience of how breath, body, and voice naturally work together. In this 90-minute workshop, we’ll explore the organic ways the body experiences breath, alignment, energy, and sound.
As we playfully engage with this work and reconnect with the body’s innate wisdom, participants may experience benefits such as nervous system regulation, improved attention, greater ease in physical alignment, and even an increased sense of joy or peace.
By the end of the session, participants will leave with simple, repeatable activities they can use anytime to deepen their connection to breath, body, and voice.

About the Voice & Body Awareness Workshops
This workshop introduces the vocal and body NRG* work created by Arthur Lessac, focusing on how voice and body work together to deepen communication and creativity. In this 90-minute session, we’ll explore vocalizations and natural energy states that exist within our lived experience as humans.
As we engage with this work, participants will awaken a deeper awareness of the symbiotic body-voice relationship and how it can enhance expressive clarity.
By the end of the workshop, participants will leave with accessible practices to continue developing voice and body awareness, supporting more dynamic and engaging communication.
