The Myth of Perfect Posture
A workshop designed for people who have ever had the thought:
🚶‍♀️“my posture is terrible”
😫 “why do I keep getting this sore neck"
🙌 “I really want to improve my down-dog, singing, running, sleeping, [insert physical activity here]”
or anyone with a body and a desire to understand how we can ‘use’ it more efficiently, gracefully and powerfully.
By bridging ideas and practices from Yoga, Alexander Technique, Body Mapping, and functional anatomy, we can start to reconceive of our posture not as something mechanical and fixed, but as a piece of information directing us toward our unique process of coordination that constantly informs how we do everything… Our bodies are like a spider’s web, in that moving one part we change the whole system. Alexander Technique utilises an ‘indirect’ approach to coordination, where we look at the overall pattern of use throughout the whole body to understand why specific parts might be over-compensating or experiencing reoccurring pain.
Wether you’re 25 and wondering if you’re ‘over-using’ your body to the point of injury, or 75 and believing there’s no hope to soothe chronic pain or old injuries, this workshop is designed to expand what you believe is possible regarding your body and provide tools to help mindfully change your ‘posture’ towards posture. Perfect for deepening your asana practice, learning how to sit, stand or move more comfortable and with more ease, inclusive of all body types and diverse mobility.
This workshop consists of group discussions, games, and exercises to both conceptually and practically explore your coordination in everyday life. We will work through exercises from Alexander Technique and Body Mapping to mindfully explore new ways of coordinating, integrate those experiences through a slow flow yoga practice, and then finish with questions. The workshop includes a small break in the middle with tea and homemade snacks provided.
