Ready to improve your Posture & Flexibility?
Posture and Flexibility are like siamese twins – inseparable! If you feel your body is locked in a posture that causes you pain and discomfort, then you are experiencing joint misalignment and a compromised musculature structure. The good news is that both can be remedied. However, it will require conscientiousness and effort on your part to unlock and unwind tension and tightness. The result? Freedom to move confidently and gracefully. What more could we want?

Why is Posture & Flexibility So Important?
Posture is more than how you stand. Truthfully, it reflects the strength of your body structure and it affects the internal workings of your organs. For example, if you find your balance is degrading, check your posture. In addition, if you find your low back aches, check your posture. Moreover, if you have trouble breathing, check your posture. In other words, many physical ailments can be traced back to postural issues.
Thank goodness, Yoga can help! For instance, postural misalignments can be remedied by gently stretching and breathing into tight areas. Consequently, this encourages the muscles and bones to move into proper alignment. But be warned, this is not an overnight process! Indeed, it takes practice, diligence and yes, daily conscientiousness. But don’t fret… we are here to help!
