Let’s talk nerdy to each other. Posture is a direct mirror of your neural synapses, which is a fancy way of saying that what you’re thinking on the inside shows on the outside—and impacts your body like, whoa. Did you have an argument with that one toxic friend who has you feeling small & insignificant? You’ll clamp down on your ribcage, breathe shallowly, and duck your head.

Just give yourself a pump-up pep talk in the elevator for that presentation you’re about to deliver? Play it as cool as you want, but the fact that your shoulders are hiked up to your ears gives you away.

Touch up your makeup in the rearview mirror with shaky hands before walking into the party? We can tell, because your weight is shifting from foot to foot and your jaw is clenched so tightly it could grind diamonds.

Your posture is a 24/7 broadcast tower sending signals to everyone around you — and your own brain — about your stress levels, nerves, confidence, and whether or not you’re the one in charge.

Posture Rehab is all about:

• Attraction. Become the most confident person in the room, simply by changing up the way you stand. (Did you know that most of what makes someone attractive is their body language? It has less to do with weight, body size, shape, or “beauty,” and everything to do with how comfortable you look in your skin.)
  
• Inspiration. With this simple breathing exercise, your creativity will get a breath of fresh air (and feel refreshed) instantaneously.
• Flexibility. Aging doesn’t have to be some depressing process of slow decline. Increased flexibility means more morning walks with the dog, tearing up the golf green without grimacing in pain, and gardening sans all the grumbling from your knees.
• Prevention. Learn how to release tight arm, shoulder and neck muscles from too much time at the computer so Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (or worse) doesn’t sneak up on you.
• Education. You might be doing the right exercises with the wrong muscles. Intention is everything; knowing what you’re working with and why can make or break your results.
• Relaxation. By reducing cortisol levels and the sort of stress that makes people eat dry brownie mix/slap their neighbor, we’re releasing tension in your body and mind. I’ll show you a simple exercise that instantly lets go of the tension in your “anxiety muscle” so you can inject your energy into the things that matter most to you.
