Whether you’re trying to pick up a hottie across the bar, suffering from chronic low back pain, or simply don’t want to end up with a hunch like your 80 year old great aunt, building, and having awareness of, perfect posture is vital.
Our spines are incredibly flexible armor for our delicate nervous system. Slouching all the time will not only hurt the self confidence vibes you send off to others, but will damage the natural shock absorption power of the spine.

By tuning in to your posture and mindfulness first thing in the morning you can walk into the day with more clarity and energy. Feeling yourself rooted to the ground through your foot centers and the reach of the crown of the head through the ceiling is the oppositional energy you’re cultivating.
How To Improve Your Posture And Awareness In 5 Minutes from Amber Zuckswert on Vimeo.
As a dancer and teacher I constantly work on my posture, but have spent massive amounts of time hunched over my lap top and carrying around 50 lb bags across the world. I feel you. Like everything, consistency is what’s most important. The more we can remind ourselves to stand tall the better. Using imagery like a tall collar really helps me. Some of my clients sit on fit balls at the office and even create little pop up “sit tall!” reminders on their computer desktop.
