VERONIKA KLIROVA

“I help professional musicians avoid injury and burnout so that they can enjoy sustainable careers staying connected to their love of music.”

Veronika is a flute player at the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, a yoga teacher for musicians and a passionate performance wellbeing advocate. She completed her first yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, India in 2018 and has been teaching and further educating herself on this subject ever since. She’s delivered Musicians’ Yoga sessions for the British Association of Performing Arts Medicine, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.

Her Musicians’ Yoga Sessions combine physical postures with breathing exercises and mindfulness techniques, always focusing on areas that are relevant to musicians. She’s developed a six step method helping performers to:

Build awareness

Release tension

Manage Anxiety

Prevent Injury

Build Resilience

And develop Systems for Selfcare
