Our fears hold us down from being our best selves. What are you afraid of? public speaking, intimacy, making decisions, stage fright, ageing, flying, being alone, being hurt... we fear changes, we fear beginnings and we fear endings, we fear success and we fear failure, we fear life and we fear death. We always fear.… Continue reading Fear & Doubt

Welcome to SingersFit! 🙂 Here you will find tips and articles about all things singing/fitness related, because let me tell you – in case you didn’t know – that singing is very much linked to being fit. Singers are Athletes in their whole right! Breathing, posture, and the engagement of the muscles for support are the basic primary fuel that allows that voice to come out. So as a passionate singer/fitness instructor/music teacher myself, and with years of having this idea in mind – including wondering, investigating, guessing, trial-error tests, and a lot of intuition -, I’ve finally put it all together hoping I can be of help to you, who are looking to develop/improve your body awareness from the physical to the ethereal and beyond 😛 (ahhh… us, the dreamers!)

Introduction: Hidden History. "In the beginning was the Word". "And the Word became Flesh". So much depth in these two ancient statements. Was the Word in the beginning of the world as we know it? or was it in a different reality? Words take away the energy and the meaning of conceptual ideas and feelings,… Continue reading Songwriting & Health
The Gift of Isolation
Good things never came easy. In your practice, most of the time there is struggle. In fact, striving for perfection will never give you a sense of completion. The only way out is getting used to it, unfortunately. It will not get better unless you accept perfection does not exist as such and, still, after… Continue reading The Gift of Isolation
Learning & Control
When I started doing exercise I must have been around 6 or 7 years old, imitating an aerobics instructor who was on Spanish TV in the 80s, Eva Nasarre, every morning religiously before going to school. I just loved her gym tights and colourful leg warmers😍. My liking for aerobics, singing and dance also prompted… Continue reading Learning & Control
