Thank you to everyone for making this such a popular course here on Udemy. This class is guaranteed to not just improve your posture but also increase your wellbeing that goes along with being upright and functional in this world. What separates this posture class from the many others online are a difference in the understanding behind the science of biomechanics (your bodies muscular functions) and in a deeper understanding and exploration into the perception and awareness of your body. While most posture classes teach exercises from an older and outdated model of fitness, this class will use newer models of functional fitness, somatic awareness, and tensegrity to benefit your body, and especially your spine, in the functioning of healthy and efficient movement. We will be focusing a lot on your experience through the class. Instead of me just telling what to do and having you do, we will explain reasoning behind movements and also a lot of time in your own explorations of the movements and the after effects. The real growth comes not from being told, but from experiencing for yourself. This is a different paradigm for learning and when it comes to improving any part of your body it is the most crucial (yet seemingly the most left out of other postural classes.). Through this experiential awareness, you can begin to reclaim your own power back to your body and yourself. I want you to succeed in having more efficient and healthy posture! My best students are ones who dont need to come back to the same classes because theyve learned and taken control of their bodies through the class content. More than anything, youll learn a new way of comprehending what healthy and efficient posture is. It is such a radical shift in the perception of our bodies in relation to how we hold ourselves up through the pull of gravity and daily obstacles that once understood, better posture becomes 1000 times easier. These posture improvement exercises are gentle, therapeutic, and suitable for all ages and physical abilities.
