This Posture Awareness Month, I’m sharing two techniques to help you experience upright ease when sitting without a back rest. For many students, learning that you can be both upright and relaxed is something of a revelation. Most of us associate good posture with stiffness, and relaxation with slouching. Yet the body is designed for a third option: upright ease.
Good Posture Is Not What Most People Think
May is Posture Awareness Month. This gives us a fine opportunity to check in with how we hold ourselves. Of course it’s important to understand what good posture is, something that is shockingly lacking in modern times. Once we understand healthy posture conceptually, awareness and checking in can do wonders for our health and vigor.
