“The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.”
Thomas A. Edison
WHAT DO I DO
I’m a Feldenkrais Method and a yoga teacher with a passion for posture.
I’m posture teacher and coach.
I help people improve their posture to get out of pain and, of course to look good.
I also give posture trainings sessions in schools, offices and private settings.
WHY DO I DO THIS WORK
To tell you the truth, I had some hesitations in ‘coming out’ as a posture teacher/expert until a friend of mine who I was helping with her back problems asked me with frustration and a level of despair:
Why wasn’t I taught this (good postural habits) when I was growing up? How different could my life be today? You must go out into the world and teach this stuff!
and the rest is history.
LET'S FACE IT
For most of us the teachings of good posture wasn’t (and still isn’t) part of our education.
As a result you may have developed poor postural habits along the way.
Good posture is a skill we all can learn.
And because we haven’t been taught these life skills it is up to us to learn and pass them to our children.
I believe that living intelligently is to empower ourselves with knowledge.
Ignorance is our worse enemy, knowledge our best friend.
PLEASE STOP THE NONSENSE!
SIT UP STRAIGHT
DON’T SLOUCH
Did any of these ever help you? Let me guess, no it didn’t!
That is because THIS. TEACHES. NOTHING.
Let’s teach, not instruct.
LET'S LOOK AT THE FACTS
The spinal cord and the brain form the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS is like the control room of our body, everything happens from here, from what we do to what we think and feel.
Poor posture deforms and damages the spine and this will have an affect on the CNS.
Poor posture:
- Affects the health your back, neck and shoulders.
- It can be the cause for headaches/migraines (forward head posture)
- Affects the health of your internal organs.
- It is likely to be the reason for your breathing and digestive issues.
- It can give you feelings of low self-esteem and a lack of confidence.
- And, of course, it makes you look anything but good!
Our bodies change our minds, our minds change our behaviour, our behaviour changes our outcomes.
Amy Cuddy
Good posture keeps the spine in its optimal position. This means that your body can function efficiently and as nature intended.
Good posture contributes to:
- A healthy back and overall health.
- Better and freer breathing.
- Good functioning of the internal organs including lungs and heart.
- Increase in your energy levels.
- Being more alert to life.
- Feeling better overall, confident and empowered.
- And, of course, it makes you look good and elegant!
I’m not here to tell you what to do with your body but to remind you that your body is beautiful and deserves your full attention.
MY MISSION
My mission is to raise awareness of good posture and spread the seeds of good postural habits throughout the world.To bring the knowledge of good posture to teachers and parents so that they can introduce posture education to children from an early age.
Like so, children are given the chance to grow up with the understanding and awareness of good posture, maintain a healthy spine and avoid the suffering that many adults go through due to the lack of awareness and understanding of good posture.
Just like teaching children to brush their teeth from an early age, I believe posture education is as essential to prevent back problems and mental issues.
