Would like to improve posture? Feel naturally free and comfortable?

You can regain that natural poise you had as a child. Posture often deteriorates from childhood because of lifestyle choices, such as hours slumped over a computer, stress and many other factors. Join me in an evening or morning 6 week class and find out how you might be creating your own tension. Read more about my classes.

I spent a lot of time TRYING to Do GOOD POSTURE! I was just tense and my back and neck would hurt quite a lot. You might have the same problem and learning how to ungrip and release your hold would be a long term solution to seeking a better balance and improving posture. There is a lot of talk about the importance of good posture these days. You hear it in gyms, yoga sessions, Pilates and even the very popular barefoot running.

We usually try and DO IT by putting ourselves in a position and fixing ourselves, fixing ourselves means tensing ourselves into not moving, this is how we start getting into trouble. As we tense our muscles over long period of time, they start hurting, giving us pain as a signal of something wrong. Unfortunately most of the time we cannot maintain this "good posture" and we invariably go back into a slump, we tire. Holding ourselves all day long and over long periods of time can cause a lot of the modern ailments, neck & back pain, discomfort, aches and pains we are all too familiar with.  We try to sort these problems out in numerous different ways, going to the gym or doing exercise is perceived as a great way to improve your posture but sometimes, if we are already tense we can further damage ourselves in those activities. Learning how to release tension first and noticing the harmful ways in which we move can be more beneficial and enhance your sporting activities.

Try it now for yourself, stand in front of a mirror and do your best standing up straight and what you consider being good posture. Now let's see, place a hand on your neck muscles and see if you can notice anything. Now release your good posture and just stand, place your hand on your neck muscles, you can try front and back of the neck, do you notice any difference?

Email me your feedback I'd love to hear if you are able to notice any difference? vero@isatt.ie
