How to Slouch Proof your Body
Welcome to a the 4th video in new series of video lessons that we will be publishing at least once a month for you. This video is about how to slouch proof your body. Why do you not want to slouch? Your over stretching your lower back, middle back and compressing your heart and your lungs. Your heart is not happy and it put’s you in a bad mood.
We get better at what we practice, and if we slouch every day we get very good at slouching and it becomes a habit, making slouching more comfortable that sitting ups straight. However, this video will help you by giving your body a new experience that will help you feels good when you sit with good posture.
Watch below, and as always I would love to hear your feedback in the comments!

Thank you for taking the time to read my email, enjoy the video lesson and have a great day.
I really like and enjoy your subtle thoughtful exercises. We practice Tai chi and Alexander Techniques as taught through Sally Swift’s Centered Riding. Basically coming from Mabel Todd’s teachings. I pass your ideas on to my riding students. Thank you for these short glimpses with fresh images. Very helpful
We have a huge following in Germany of Equestrians!
Thanks for offering such great tips in such an easy exercise that anyone can do! Short, simple, and effective. I will be checking out your teaching trainings!
Great tips for posture while sitting!
Thank you! This posture training is helpful for me as a pianist.
That was good!
Thank you so much for providing these very effective tips. I share them with my mature yoga students and we are all very, very grateful to you.
Wonderful 🙂 Thank you!
M E R C I , belle journée
Very good. Simple and effective. I understood the effect of the sternum on body posture from my mindful connectivity work, and think that the clavicle massage is a wonderful addition.
Hello, just a little critical view upon clavicule work, as it is performed on the video it tends to be more whole upper limb work than clavicule movement so I would suggest more precise navigation there ( one idea being opening and shutting a small book between the shoulder and the clavicule) and what I also find useful is a manual stretch of m subclavius from inner to outer part of it during the movement, all the best Stepan
Love the effective simplicity of your teachings, Ive just recently had a car accident so any techniques for whiplash would be greatfully appreciated!
It is amazing how well this works. Just a very simple method to get immediate results. I immediately felt my sternum life.
Hi. Thank you so much for your videos. I use your work (movement, imagery, bands, balls), all the time with my cancer survivors/patients as well as Pilates, Suspension strap students. I am also a breast cancer surgery rehab exercises specialists and would love to be able to talk with you more about applying your work with these folks. I am also a survivor. Thank you so much for always
So simple and so efficient! Thank you
I didn’t see where we could watch the anti slough video. Where is it?
Always great information. Works well for me and more so for the beginning dance classes that I teach. Thank You.
This is so quick and effective! Thank you so much. I am becoming a super fan!
I have enjoyed your lessons (when I take time to pay attention) for a couple of years. I stumbled upon your videos when looking for tension relief. I’m not a slim dancer, but out of shape retired auto worker. I benefited greatly from the video on slouching. Who knew?! Thank for sharing you expertise with the world. I appreciate what you do.
