Posture – Powerful or Powerless?

Ladies have you thought about your ‘body language’ / posture and how it can affect how powerful or powerless you can feel about yourself?

I know from my background as a Pilates Master Coach the benefits of 'great' posture.Structurally a good and balanced posture can reduce stress on the body’s structures, can create open and fluid movement that assists us when coping with the adl’s [activities of daily living] By learning and developing strategies, endurance, flexibility and strength to maintain this open and fluid posture. You learn to move better, breathe better, live better.

NOW imagine if by adopting a ‘powerful pose/posture’ for as little as 2 minutes per day offered positive effects on how you feel about yourself, how others perceive your and lowered your cortisol levels! [stress hormone]

Well that is exactly what Amy Cuddy’s [Social Psychologist / Professor at Harvard Business School] research revealed. Per Ms Cuddy “tiny tweaks – can lead to BIG changes”

And they do, since seeing this Ted talk I practice myself daily and have introduced its principles with great effect.

Pilates [Contrology] is not a system of haphazard exercises.....

Transform your body, become as supple as and move with the grace of a tiger "Pilates [Contrology] is not a system of haphazard exercises designed to produce only bulging muscles. ... Nor does Pilates [Contrology] err either by over-developed a few muscles at the expense of all others with resulting loss of grace and suppleness, or a a sacrifice of the heart or lungs. Rather, it was conceived to limber and stretch muscles and ligaments so that your body will be as supple as that of a cat and not muscular like that of the body of a brewery-truck horse, or the muscle-bound body of the professional weight lifter you so much admire at the circus" Transform your mind, breathe deeply, relax deeply, visualise - let your brain create!

Add Essential Oils for your Heatlh

I hear it all the time ‘I want to be fitter’ when in fact what we really mean is we want to be slimmer/ look better.

Moving forward, challenge yourself to give 100% effort at every difficult workout that you are faced with. If you consistently do this, you will learn how to never accept failure as an option.” Nav Vii
