workshopping movement: wtf is good posture

​We humans in the digital age are suffering from an epidemic of bad posture. Good posture gets more aesthetic brownie points than anything else, yet improving posture can have significant downstream health effects — not just on shoulder/back tension, but also on breathing, blood flow, and digestive function.

​Most of us have a very rigid (pun intended) understanding of what good posture means. "Stand up straight!"

​I will offer you a different way of thinking about posture and of finding the best posture for your body. For instance, a stick-straight spine does not actually maximize the length of your spine. Curious what does? Come play around! You will walk away with more agency over your posture than ever before.

​​​About these workshops: I teach movement that your body craves. Each workshop focuses on a different topic at the crossroads of dance, functional movement, mobility rehab, and philosophy. Each workshop is a research opportunity — we move and discover together 🌀

​​​About me: 2 decades of dance. 12 years of chronic pain. Head, shoulders, knees, and toes. The purest love for dance, rhythm, and beautiful movement, and the deepest drive to cultivate a body that moves well — until it can't move any longer.
