Do you complain about your posture? Does your neck hurt? Shoulders? Low back? Hips?
Try out this Intro to Posture class, November 8, 10:30-12:00 pm
No matter how old you are, you can stand up better and you can take the load off your joints and ease your tight muscles. You can change your posture no matter how old you are. Even with scoliosis or arthritis. If you live in better posture, in/with better alignment you’ll also be using your muscles of support better, all the time. You’ll get stronger.
Let me help you find you a new you, in just one lesson! Limited to 8 people. This not a lecture/demonstration but an immersive class that will prove you can change.
DM, comment, or email me at Meg@movementforall to sign up. $18.00 until October 15, then $20.00.
Take a look at the figures below. They are meant to be non-binary, so you’ll have to add on your various body parts to make them truly hit home! Most of us, I’m very sorry to observe, have poor posture as we age. Even people at the gym are trying to work out in these inefficient and unsupported alignments of the spine and joints. It kind of breaks my heart, and it frustrates me! Because, unlike many problems, this one has solutions. They aren’t one size fits all, but there are shared principles: two arms, two legs, one movable spine (even with fusions), and one skull. Similar, culturally and generationally normative ways of walking, sitting, and standing.
I’ve spent 40 years studying and teaching functional, efficient, expressive and anatomically correct alignment, as a student and teacher of Alexander Techique, as a practitioner of Feldenkrais work, and my own Eginton Alignment.
To more than 1500 actors and others in workshops and universities, and studios, around the world, and that’s a lot of different bodies, ages, and abilities. This is not to toot my horn but to point out my depth of interest. I’ve researched and continued to study, made a simple to do home sequence, and boiled it all down to make change very doable.
Here’s a proven principle: good posture is the result of good movement. By changing our sitting and walking we all begin to stand more upright. Good alignment leads to better balance, and the negotiation of movement into good balance leads to graceful posture.
You truly can change the way you stand. No more stooping, no more swayed back, no more pain in your shoulders, no more frozen joints.
Let me show you how. In one just one lesson you can experience the change. With an ongoing clinic you can make that change sticky.
Ongoing clinic and Daily Dozen class begins December 6, Fridays at 10:30. Iowa City Peninsula neighborho
