Aloha folks, Did you know that posture is automatic and not under our conscious control? Posture is a major determinant of longevity, brain function, mood, s*x drive, joint function, digestion, elimination and so much more. Recently it has been determined that forward head posture is a major cause of dementia since blood flow is restricted to the brain and delicate brain cells cannot function well. I created YogAlign and now FitAlign Posture Training and I offer breath based somatic education in posture realignment techniques that are very effective in terms of posture correction and also chronic pain relief and alleviation of conditions such as plantar fasciitis, sciatica, SI joint and lower back pain, TMJ, rotator cuff injuries,hernias, anxiety, stomach issues, and so much more.
I am offering my 10 day Posture Educator Certification here on Kauai from Oct 21- Nov 1. Right now I have a $300 tuition discount if you register by Sept 1. There are a few spots left and people are coming from as far away as Belgium to take this course which is limited to 14 students.
I have trained almost 500 bodyworkers, yoga teachers, PTs and fitness instructors using my breath based posture realignment methods since 2008 in countries all over the world. It is a great adjunct training method you can apply to any fitness regimen, yoga or sport.
Anyone with an interest in posture realignment and functional movement patterns is encouraged to take the course. It is not necessary to have experience in yoga or other types of movement. The method is safe and accessible for all ages and fitness levels. Feel free to call me ( Michaelle Edwards) to discuss. 808-652-3823. Here is one of my recent clients after just one session. go to this link for more details.

Did anyone see the new book called Slouch: Posture Panic in Modern America? A historian named Beth Linker wrote a whole book about how the posture correction movement goes back centuries and is not based in science .According to her there is no reliable research connecting poor posture with many pain and aging issues. I do agree that the posture apps, shoulder harnesses and pilates classes might not be working but posture does matter. She makes some interesting points about the military approach to posture as well as n**e photos that universities used to take of students to record their posture.
Here is a link to a podcast she made. She wrote an entire book on whay posture alignment is more of a panic! https://www.niskanencenter.org/slouching-and-the-posture.../
Anyway I made a Youtube video about how posture does matter. Please share this video with your friends and subscribers! Here is my new You tube video. PLEASE SHARE and SUBSCRIBE
