Knowing how to improve posture is a rare skill these days, but it is something that teachers of the Alexander technique have mastered.
When I try and explain the Alexander Technique to someone who’s never heard of it I’m never sure how to best describe it. It’s a bit like explaining to someone what an orange tastes like using only words. I’ve come to the conclusion that words aren’t really up to the task; you have to experience it to understand it.
The following video has a very good explanation of how to improve posture. It may be as good as you can get without actually having a lesson. I particularly liked the bit where she talked about people using excess muscle tension to hold ourselves, instead of using our skeleton.
Nice video. I used the Alexander Tech exercises after a car accident gave some whiplash!
