"We can almost always develop more agility, elegance, and flexibility in body and mind; it's rarely too late to become more comfortable in your own skin." Meriah Kruse
Everyone has been admonished at some point in time to “Stand up – or sit up -- straight!”
And we have all tried to do just that – straighten up from our sometimes less-than-perfect posture,
in the midst of a long day or a tedious task, or while seated in an uncomfortable chair.
No wonder we make these heroic efforts! We know that maintaining a dynamic posture helps us to get right with the world and with ourselves.
Our posture communicates, sending messages both outward to the world around us, and inward to the part of us that wants to be energetic, ready for action. We want to remain tall throughout our lives, to avoid the stoop we may have seen in our grandparents.
Good posture is good in so many ways: It's good for your internal organs, good for your spine, good for your feet, good for your self-confidence and good for maintaining a high energy level. Good posture also has a dramatic effect on the way you walk. Of course, we ALL want to have good posture!
