Jo Zakany | Coach for Classical Musicians

The MindfulOpus podcast is where we switch from Grind to Kind in our artistic process – so that artists like you can avoid burnout, ditch performance anxiety, and create a thriving, healthy life - on and off stage. The podcast is hosted by Jo Zakany, former violist with The Cleveland Orchestra, yoga teacher, and coach for classical musicians.
