Hagen Mindfulness

Hagen Mindfulness | Practical Tools for a Musical Life

Mindfulness without the woo.

I'm Shawn Hagen — retired U.S. Army bandsman, professional hornist, and mindfulness teacher trained at Brown University. After 25 years at the highest levels (White House, U.S. Capitol, Kennedy Center), I discovered that the thing holding most musicians back isn't talent — it's the noise between the ears.

Hagen Mindfulness offers practical, no-fluff tools for musicians ready to manage performance stress, quiet the inner critic, and remember why they fell in love with music in the first place. My approach draws on MBSR, breathwork, and qigong — because "practical, not precious" isn't just a tagline, it's how I teach.

🎵 Mindfulness practices built for performers
🌬️ Breathwork and qigong you can use backstage
🎺 Honest conversations about performance anxiety
🧠 Tools for auditions, lessons, rehearsals, and the stage

You PLAY music. Let's find your playground.
