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.

Singing & Chakras
Before I became 'enlightened' about the interconnectedness of all things, I always thought that all that chakra stuff was some sort of 'new age' thing, that yes, it could be possible that it existed, but I thought it had nothing to do with the way we govern our emotions/soul/movement/thoughts. Little did I know that, while… Continue reading Singing & Chakras
