What the Heck is Good Posture, Anyway? Mindful Body Podcast
-
- Health & Fitness
"Good" posture is not what we have all been taught. It requires much less struggle and effort, and it's a lot more comfortable and relaxed. Truly good posture relies on the support of aligned bones that allow us to be more authentically strong, and to move with flexible, fluid ease in the world.
This being the first episode of AlignNOW, provides an overview of basic natural alignment concepts and leads the listener through a guided exploration of what it feels like to come to rest at that quiet, peaceful center—between slouching and over-correcting—that place where we are able to surrender and trust in the experience of our skeleton holding us up, rather than muscles having to struggle to do the job.
Kathleen Porter discusses how she rid herself of decades of chronic stiffness and pain by learning how to re-learn the natural posture that she, like most everyone else, originally discovered as a baby and a toddler. Now 72-years-old, she continues to reap the benefits of inhabiting her body in this naturally aligned way.
