Can Your Posture be TOO Good?
/I'm often told what great posture I have...a good thing one would think for an Alexander Technique teacher...
But there's a catch...
Sometimes my posture is too good...
Say what?
Yes, really. There's mindset that people get into sometimes that goes something like this...I am just this way...I can never be as good at his or that thing as so-and-so is.
...or I can never have as good posture as my posture teacher does!
Hold on...The posture teacher didn't just wake up this way one glorious day.
By age 7, my posture was going downhill. I was diagnosed with scoliosis at age 9 and wore a back brace from ages 13-17. By 18 I was restless and uncomfortable most of the time and riddled with shoulder and jaw tension. I was on auto-pilot headed off course and I had no idea how to turn myself around...until I took Alexander Technique classes. Then I gained the skills to start to take control of my body and get ustuck. My posture changed because I'd learn a process for how to change ingrained habits...not because of luck, genetics, or one magical exercise.
If I could get out of my posture rut, there's a pretty good chance you will be able to as well!
