Is Perfect Posture a Myth?

Is Perfect Posture a Myth?4 aug24 min

In this episode, I'm doing a deep dive on one of my favorite topics, posture, and I want to challenge everything you think you know about it.

Here's the truth: perfect posture doesn't exist. What we're really after is adaptable posture; a body that can move comfortably through life, not one that's frozen in a "correct" position.

In this episode, I cover:

Why the idea of "perfect posture" is a myth and what to aim for instead

The real definition of good posture

Why even a good position held all day is just as harmful as slouching

How your breathing directly shapes your posture and spinal position

The connection between your emotional state, nervous system, and how you hold your body

Why technology isn't the enemy

What I actually see when clients try to "sit up as tall as possible"

How the small daily habits are quietly shaping your posture

Why posture is supported by capacity, not constant reminders to sit up straight
