Good posture is not how well you balance a book on your head while walking. No, good posture is when your body is aligned in a way that places the least amount of strain on your muscles and ligaments.

This means our posture is in a never-ending conflict against gravity.

Gravity is a force constantly pushing you down- whether you are standing, sitting, or lying in bed. In any given position, the highest part of your body will bear the brunt of the force.
It's a rare opportunity to escape from this gravitational force. Most of us will never have the chance.

On top of the daily gravity battle, our modern lifestyle has dumped a load of other challenges on us: smartphones, stress, and sedentary activities.

Think about how many times a day you are up against one, if not all of these.
Modern-day activities like driving, working on computers, communicating with smartphones, and binging on Netflix put our bodies in a position where it can feel impossible to achieve and maintain a healthy posture. But healthy posture is like a healthy diet. Neglect it, and your body will complain. If you experience any of the following, it's time to pay attention to your posture:

  • Headaches
  • Feeling stiff
  • Tightness when walking or exercising
  • Trouble sleeping because you can't get comfortable
  • Clenching when trying to hold your body in yoga poses
  • Digestion issues
  • Fatigue and lack of motivation

Jane's course will train your body to align, open and expand which will combat the daily challenges we're up against. If you are already a Yogi, taking this course will significantly improve your practice on the mat.

We've aligned and opened our body. Now we will create more expansion and length throughout our practice. We'll be able to simultaneously hold a yoga pose in stillness while still feeling open and expansive. Energetically expanding with more stability and lengthening, you'll see a noticeable improvement in your practice.
