Is your posture suffering from long hours spent on Zoom this past year?

The truth is, so many of my students feel this way. The back to back online meetings + connecting with loved ones “face to face” is simply more than our bodies can handle.

If you’re experiencing :

Rounded Upper Back
Tight Shoulders
Aching in the Neck
Lower Back Pain

Grab a chair and follow this simple + effective posture fix to unfurl your spine and relieve your pain.

POSTURE FIX

Starting Position :

Lay on the floor with your lower legs on a chair
Find neutral pelvis (Hint: pubic bone and tailbone will be in line with one another)
Place your hands on the front of your ribs. Pull your ribs down towards the floor
Lengthen the back of your neck
Bring each arm into an “L-shape”, extending directly out from the shoulder

PILATES FORM CHECK!

As you extend your arms overhead, make sure that your torso remains connected to the floor (and in the same position)
The entirety of your arm should remain in contact with the floor throughout the exercise
You’ll notice in rep three, I allow my lower back to arch (come off the floor). This is incorrect. I demonstrate this so you can visually see the most common error that occurs

If you’re finding this posture fix confusing, you’re not alone.

This exact topic is a main focus in my 6 week online program, as posture is unique to each and every one of us.
