How Holistic Posture Training Helps You

10/21/2024

​Holistic posture training starts with an important and crucial mindset shift:
Posture cannot be "exercised" into shape—it can only be minded.


This means that strengthening your core or back muscles won’t solve the issue of slouching or relieve persistent neck and shoulder tension. Instead, there are deeper, more concrete patterns at play that need to be understood and addressed.

These patterns are habits ingrained in how you move and coordinate your body, and my role is to guide you toward experiencing these underlying habits firsthand. The real source of your discomfort isn't a weak muscle group but rather an unhelpful coordination pattern.

Slouching, for example, isn’t a sign of failure or weakness. It’s simply an expression of the way your body has learned to move over time.
By understanding and becoming aware of these patterns, you open the door to meaningful change. Let’s start by observing how you coordinate yourself in everyday movements.

This could be as simple as how you walk, stand, sit, or even type at your computer. These patterns don’t change based on the activity; they remain consistent because they’re habitual and repetitive for all of us. The good news is that if we can examine how you hold yourself in one activity, it can reveal a lot about how you approach all other activities.

Once you begin to recognize your typical patterns ("slouching" for example) you can use that awareness to discover new, less stressful ways to move. I will guide you through this process, helping you explore and practice alternative movements that are easier on your body. This isn’t about forcing yourself into a "correct" posture but about understanding how you can naturally move in a way that feels better and works for your body.

Ultimately, the goal is to help you return to the driver's seat of your own body, where you have the freedom to choose how you want to show up in your everyday life. This is the beginning of holistic posture training—a learning process that empowers you to find ease, comfort, and control over your body.

If you’re ready to start sorting out your posture and feel better in your own skin, I’m here to help.
