Posture or Posturing

Awhile back, I was able to contribute to the Huffington Post blog. It was at the time they reached out to people in their fields of expertise.  What a wonderful opportunity to create a conversation about posture and somatic education to set the record straight. 

 

Since then, the research has continued to support my understanding by working away from shaming people about their posture (a large problem we see as physical therapists and sometimes from the PT’s themselves). We are now recognizing how important an inner sense of our bodies is, to access a posture of easy alignment.

 

This week I’ll be teaching for the LGBQT+ Feldenkrais Festival.  This subject seemed like a great way to promote feeling good in our bodies, while finding support with grace and comfort.
